How to Spot a "SPORTS MOM"

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. She claims she needs no friends. They a provided for her like equipment with each sport!

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

3. When she pulls her child out of school for his or her sport she nervously hopes the school admistrative staff does not ask "WHY"!

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! - 16083
