Meet Football Mom Joede!

Meet Football Mom Joede! Crocheting Queen, Single Mom, and Cancer Patient

Earlier this year Sideline Pass interviewed a New England football parent. Joede’s battling breast cancer as a single mother with two children. Her oldest, a son, is a freshman football player. This fall, the team is in a learning phase with a record of 1-5. She’s in the stands for every game, despite the illness. She finds the game as a positive outlet for her and her family as she goes through treatment.

Here are a few of the topics we covered:

• Relationships with your child’s coach
• Rules, responsibilities and balance
• Proper nutrition and preparation
• Choosing the right position on the team for your son
• Independent thinking, consequences and decision-making
• Budgeting time and resources
• Ol’ School football (including the Super Bowl Shuffle!)
