Always A Sports Mom

Episode 4: Making The Dream His Own

What happens when your son loses his passion for the sport he once loved? And what if the best thing you can do is simply be there while he finds his way back? In this episode of Always A Sports Mom, I'm joined by Sports Mom Cherri Prince as she shares the story of her son Frankie's baseball journey - from T-ball to college baseball, through setbacks, transfers, and the difficult decision to undergo shoulder surgery. More importantly, we talk about what it means to support our sons without trying to control their path. Sometimes the greatest lesson isn't teaching our sons to chase a dream - it's giving them the space to make that dream their own. In this episode, you'll hear: * Why athletic journeys are rarely a straight line. * How setbacks can shape resilience and character. * What it looks like to support your son through uncertainty. * Why sports prepare our sons for much more than the game itself. Whether your son is just beginning his sports journey or is finding his own way through it, this conversation is a reminder that being a sports mom isn't about having all the answers - it's about continuing to show up with love, encouragement, and perspective. This is the first guest interview on Always A Sports Mom, and I couldn't imagine a better way to begin this new chapter. Because being a sports mom never ends.

Episode 3: Snack Shack Diplomacy - Making Better Game Day Snack Choices

From post-game treats and snack shack temptations to smarter game-day choices, Episode 3 of Always A Sports Mom tackles a topic every sports parent knows well: snacks. In this episode, Trish shares practical ideas for finding the middle ground between fun sports memories and fueling growing athletes. From fruit kebobs and sports drinks to candy bags and Dippin' Dots, we'll talk about what works in real sports mom life without turning snack duty into a full-time job. Plus, in Sideline School, learn what coaches mean when they yell "Play's at first!" or "Play's at second!" and how understanding these baseball situations can help you stay connected to the game and the conversations with your son. Then, in Heart of the Game, hear the inspiring story of sports broadcaster Mitch Widmeier and the powerful bond he shares with his sister through their love of sports - a reminder that sports are often about much more than the final score.

Episode 2: Why We Signed Up for Sports

When our sons first asked to play sports, most of us weren't thinking about championships, scholarships, or college recruitment. We signed up because it looked fun. In this episode, we're going back to the beginning and remembering why we started this journey in the first place. In Sideline School, we'll break down Offensive Pass Interference and some of the most common situations where it gets called. In Heart of the Game, we'll explore the inspiring story of Cameron and Cayden Boozer and a family chapter that reminds us some of life's biggest victories happen far away from the spotlight. We'll also talk about something every sports mom eventually learns: sometimes the greatest gift isn't pushing harder—it's protecting the joy that made our kids fall in love with the game in the first place. Because being a sports mom never ends.
