Three Easy Ways To Support Your Athlete

disclosure she speaks powerade

Do your athletes love a variety of sports?

In my house,  all my athletes have tried many different sports such as soccer, basketball, lacrosse and swimming to see what they liked best.

Powerade Collage

This basketball season, my 4th grader decided to try the rec basketball team for the first time.

Three easy ways that I supported her are:

  1. Be present – I attended almost every game.  It helped that the games were scheduled in the evening. Being there makes the difference
  2. Practice, Practice, Practice – Although I haven’ played, I supported her by helping my daughter and her friends get picked up and dropped off home after practice.  Since I am home early from work, I did my best to carpool some of the girls home
  3. Keep your athlete hydrated.  – By panning ahead, I had drinks like ice water and Powerade chilled and ready for her.  Running the court and defended the ball keeps you on your toes and it is important to constantly hydrate.

It might be tiring but this mom wants her daughters to have all the experiences they would like with sports that they love.

Knowing that I am there cheering her on is important to me.

There is potential in all of us.  No matter what you achieve in life, you start in the same place as everyone else:  as a kid full of potential and big dreams.  At the end of the day, we are all “just a kid” from somewhere.  

POWERADE believes that with the right motivation these everyday athletes can realize their potential and one day be the athletes that they look up to. Sports have a major impact on our communities. Whether it is t-ball or the pros, every athlete in every league has a story waiting to be told.

Represent your somewhere with custom “Just a Kid” apparel that features where you’re from here. All net proceeds from the sale of “Just a Kid” apparel goes to the Boys & Girls Club of America.

    That’s great! I do that with piano, but hopefully we’ll be doing soccer with the youngest soon. Got to keep these kids busy!

    My younger brother played in our school’s basketball varsity team. He loved it whenever the whole family would watch his games – it was a family event that we all looked forward to.

    I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay hydrated in any sport. It’s good that we have products like Powerade that aid in keeping athletes ( and possibly non-athletes as well ) hydrated.

    These are some awesome advice tips – I have to admit I wouldn’t know where to start with supporting an athlete – I only eve swam as a child / teen. x

    I try to support my son and be there for him! But I think the best thing is to let him make choices as far as sports and what to do with his sport life. Some parents force kids to play sports and create a hectic schedule……I let my son decide what sports he likes and what he wishes to play, making our lives way easier!

    I love these ideas. I’m hoping my oldest son makes it on the high school soccer team. I played growing up and my parents were always there rooting me on.

    I tried playing basketball (for fun) when I was in college but got always whistled for a 3 second violation. However, I am a big fan of basketball.

    For some reason none of my kiddos are into sports and I wished they were. Maybe someday they will be.

    My son was in a baseball program last year and one of the most important things for him was to feel hydrated enough. We were lucky that the program provided water bottles for everyone, but once in a while we would stop by the local grocery store and get a Powerade, because he likes the flavors. 🙂

    I was a sports rat in school, my daughter hated all sports. I tried her in several and none she liked. Staying hydrated used to not be stressed, glad that now it is!

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚
Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Mons Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Monster Cupcakes box.

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
