10 Black Moms with Kids Who Play Sports Launch New Book to Empower Other Mothers of Student-Athletes

Nationwide — Ten inspiring women have teamed up to release a powerful new book for mothers raising student-athletes: Sports Moms Playbook: A Guide To Balancing Faith, Family & Sports. Published by Books For Athletes, the book is available on Amazon.

Written by Karen Reese, Carmen Dilonga, Neisha Byrd, Jamesette Cleveland, Shoshana Cook, Shajuana Evans, Heather Nash, Nisaa Muhammad, Angela Pride, and Kwashica Haynes, Sports Moms Playbook is both a heartfelt tribute and a practical guide for the mothers who pour their energy, love, and faith into their children’s athletic journeys.

From the sidelines to the car rides, from early morning practices to late-night pep talks, the book shines a light on the unspoken sacrifices and essential roles that sports moms play in the lives of their children. Through stories, encouragement, and faith-based wisdom, the authors offer guidance for navigating the challenges of sports, family, and personal growth.

“This book is for the mom who shows up loud and for the mom who shows up quietly,” the authors write. “Whether you’re packing the bag, saying a prayer, buying equipment, or simply listening after a hard game, your presence matters. Your voice matters.”

Sports Moms Playbook reminds every mother that she is part of the story, no matter how big or small her role may seem.

The book is not just for the moms who know the stats and the plays; it’s for every parent who supports her child with faith, resilience, and unconditional love.
