Being the mother of an athlete is a challenging yet rewarding role. So momsTEAM has designated May as Sports Moms Month and is celebrating by asking some of our favorite sports moms to share their wisdom by responding to a series of questions.
So far this month we have heard from a mom of an Olympic athlete, two sports moms who were themselves Olympic athletes (one a gold medalist), an award-winning health and safety reporter for the Chicago Tribune, the mom of two former minor league baseball players, a mom and writer from Texas with a football-crazy son and cheerleader daughter, a Minnesota hockey mom and author, and a top sports nutritionist.
Lucille O'Neal, the mom of former NBA great Shaquille O'Neal, tells Brooke de Lench, MomsTEAM founder and publisher, about her work with the Boys and Girls Club and Kimberly Clark, what she learned as a sports mom from her three sports-active children.
