The "SPORTS MOM" Epidemic

By Jennifer Dumas

Do you know a "Sports Mom"? She is the one who flies home from work, whips up dinner and piles the kids and their equipment into her mini van. She drops off Johnny at 6 for basketball, Lauren at 6:15 for gymnastics, and Alec at 7:00 for hockey. Not second for a break, it's already pickup time! In all the chaos, she proudly says, " I AM MY CHILD'S BIGGEST FAN"!

Top 5 ways to identify a "SPORTS MOM"

1. Her friends are all parents of children on her child's sports team and her friends, just like her child's team, change with the season!

2. She spends more time in the car going to her child's event than she spends watching the event.

3. She signs her child out of school for his or her sport and claims they have "AN APPOINTMENT".

4. She buys a car based on how many kids and how much equipment will fit!

5. She knows more than the "Ref" and is not afraid to say so!
