Coach A Kid

Coach a kid this fall or better yet, coach your own!

Yep, its back-to-school and that of course, also means back-to-sports. This fall when those volunteer, sign-up notices start to fill your inbox, I hope you’ll join me in trying your hand at coaching. Yes, I know snack duty is tempting and far less daunting. But imagine the impact if every kid’s mom volunteered to coach.

Our sons and daughters need to see us out on the sports field, they need to see us lead and they need to see how we lead, especially when we don’t quite know what we’re doing. I’d never played or coached soccer when I first started coaching, but I quickly discovered my big advantage… I am an adult and they are kids. After that, things got a whole lot easier.

In the end, I learned a lot about soccer, but I learned more about myself and found entrée into the Technicolor lives of a whole group of wonderful, now-teenagers.

So this fall, I hope you’ll join me on the field or court!

What would your Title Nine caption be?

Perhaps you think the real women on our pages are super women. Perhaps you think their lives are unattainable.

Perhaps you think the whole thing is just a made-up, marketing mirage. But take a minute to think about what your own caption might look like, a caption that gives voice only to the good, a caption that does not allow negativity or self-censorship.

Could you even see yourself in your own caption? Post your caption below and see if you recognize the woman in the words.

If you don’t, I hope you’ll start to. She’s pretty amazing. Or post a friend’s…will she recognize herself?

I’ll finish with this caption, does it sound like someone you might know?

Our Super Role Models

Because we get so many questions about our “models,” I thought I’d share some of our guidelines:

Rule #1: If you’ve always wanted to be a model, you can’t model for us. We only use gals with real bodies — no additives or preservatives.

Our “models” have real jobs or consuming passions. Since we spend a LOT of time with our “models,” they’ve gotta be interesting and interested, someone with whom we’d want to spend a lot of time.

And always, unselfconsciously confident.

In the end, our “models” are regular women, leading regular lives, lives not so very different from our own.
