We are diving headfirst into the wild world of being sports moms. From NHL dreams and dance politics to super teams, burnout, and the pressure cooker of youth sports culture. The obsession, identity, competition, and chaos that comes with raising kids in hockey, dance, soccer and...insert sport here. Parents chasing scholarships and drafts, the kids who secretly hate competing, the ones who live to win, and the impossible balance between pushing your child and protecting them. And why some kids walk away while others can’t imagine life without the grind. This is part one of a very real, very unfiltered series.
