Football Mom's Survival Guide:

I truly hope that, whether you are just beginning your football journey or are well into it, you will experience as much joy from seeing your son play as I did. That’s why I’ve written this book. I want to help you get the most out of your son’s football playing experience. By doing that, I know that I am also helping your son get the most out of his football experience. It’s funny how those two are so closely tied together. The tips and suggestions in this book vary from the practical—safety, nutrition, sports equipment, football rules, concussion information—to the emotional—team drama, mental toughness, dealing with Dad. It’s a survival guide written with the single purpose in mind: to help both you and your son be champs in football. Just one note: This book is based on my first eBook The Softball Mom’s Survival Guide and was specialized for the sport of football. Although there are some issues that cross over both sports, I’ve covered several that are unique to the sport of football.
