My coach and I will be married 28 years this December. Although we don't have any children of our own, we love being an aunt and uncle, dog parents, and loving on his players!
What is your favorite part of this lifestyle?
- The relationships! We both love getting to know the players and enjoy keeping in touch with them long after football. Having them feel comfortable to stop by anytime is a great feeling. I love the friendships we have made with parents and coaches and their families as well.
What is your LEAST favorite part of this lifestyle?
- The politics and nastiness. It really takes the fun out of it sometimes!
What is one item you can't live without that makes this life easier?
- A planner! I use the calendar on my phone but still need to write it all down too! Always so much going on during the season!
What is your go to concession stand order or must have snack?
- Don't do concession stand much but always need a bottled water!
What is the craziest thing you have survived due to this lifestyle?
- The "We should write a book" situation with a former head coach.
What is one thing you would go back and tell your younger self?
- Enjoy it and embrace it! Don't stress over the craziness and last minute schedule changes. Most importantly be your husband's biggest fan. It means so much to him!
