Behind every great athlete, there’s a sports mom running the real plays — organizing, cheering, worrying, and showing up long before the puck drops. In this inspiring episode, Amanda sits down with one of the contributing authors of The Sports Moms Playbook to talk about why sports moms finally deserve a platform of their own.

Together they dig into the stories behind the book — the emotional highs and lows of raising student-athletes, the sacrifices made off the ice, and how sharing these journeys helps empower an entire community of sports families. From early-morning drives to game-day meltdowns, this conversation celebrates connection, strength, and the power of being heard.

If you’ve ever felt like the unsung hero in your child’s sports story, this one’s for you.
