As Magic Mom Month continues we welcome Mandy Carter-Zegarowski, mom of Michael Carter-Williams of the Orlando Magic. His parents met while they both were playing basketball at Salem State University and basketball has always been a huge part of Michael’s life. Mandy talks with us about how her experiences have helped shape the choices Michael has made on his journey to the NBA.   We explore how Mandy prepared mentally and emotionally during the time leading up to the draft, how she helped create an unforgettable draft night for her son and her family and the indescribable feeling of it all when he was drafted in the first round, 11th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.   From the high of winning rookie of the year to recovery from a shoulder injury, multiple trades and the negativity of social media, Mandy talks of how Michael coped with the uncertainty, the impact on him mentally and physically and how they’ve come through it all.

Bright lights, centre court, multimillion dollar contracts and adoring fans.  That’s what most of us imagine when we think of the world of professional athletes. But what is the story behind the images?  What does the road to stardom look like?  What does it take to get there?  Who better to answer these questions and many more, than the moms who were there every step of the way.“Court-Side Moms” is the first of its kind to focus solely on the experiences of professional basketball player’s mothers, giving us a new perspective on the lives of some of our favorite athletes.  We explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences of those moms who have watched their children join the elite world of pro sports.

Wendy will sit down with other basketball moms to hear their stories, creating the first platform for moms to kick back and chat about their kids, and to discuss the reality of raising high performance athletes.
