The "SPORTS MOM" Trend

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 travels hours to her child's event, only to watch him or her play for 30 minutes.

3. She pulls her child out of school for his or her activity and says he or she is "SICK".

4. The deciding factor on her new car purchase is how many kids can it accommodate and how much equipment!

5. She owns a cow bell and is not afraid to use it! - 15438
