About this listen

The Moms' Playbook Podcast is created by Sports Moms for Sports Moms. We dive into the intricacies of raising a student-athlete; from managing practice schedules and travel arrangements, to insider tips on recruiting, all while balancing your own career. Each sport has its own unique challenges, and we aim to explore and understand them all. Along the way, we share stories and enjoy some laughter because, as Moms, we understand the chaos but wouldn't want to be anywhere else!© 2025 Heather James & Jasmin Zuhr Parenting & Families Relationships
