Episode 45: From Cheer to Track to Touchdowns: Raising Three College Grads
In this empowering chapter of the Sports Moms Playbook series, Amanda sits down solo to share the inspiring story of Shoshana — a dedicated sports mom of three who raised athletes across three completely different worlds: cheer, track, and football. From early-morning practices to late-night competitions, from emotional burnout to pure pride, this episode dives deep into what it really takes to show up for your kids year after year.
Shoshana grew up playing sports herself, and she passed that passion on to her children. Her oldest daughter became a competitive cheerleader and track athlete. Her youngest daughter took on the volleyball court. And her son tackled the intensity of football. They pushed hard, she supported harder — and together they built something incredible:
All three of her children earned college degrees.
This is the raw, honest, and rewarding side of being a sports mom — the side that doesn’t always make the highlight reel, but absolutely shapes who our kids become.
🔍 What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- What happens when one mom juggles three totally different sports worlds
- The emotional and physical toll of being a sports parent
- How cheer, track, volleyball, and football require totally different mom-modes
- The reality of “Sports Mom burnout” and why it’s worth it
- How sports shape resilience, confidence, and discipline in our kids
- The powerful moment when years of sacrifice end with college graduation
- Why sports moms deserve their own platform, their own stories, and their own damn credit
🎙️ Why This Episode Matters
Sports moms don’t just create athletes — they build adults.
This episode is a reminder that all the rides, the snacks, the fundraising, the sideline coaching, and the sleepless nights matter more than we often realize.
