A successful football team is one where the players and coaches work together to achieve their goals.
While the bulk of the attention is given to those players and coaches there are plenty of other people who make a football team go every day of the season and the offseason.
One group of people that might just be the most important is the football moms. Whether it’s making meals that keep the player strong, doing that dirty laundry or giving the support that helps the player stay focused the football mom is in the silent force behind a successful football program.
