It’s been a busy week here, but I have still found time to get out and visit some of my favorite sites. Here are some articles from this past week that I found interesting or useful.

• The Odds of Getting a Sports Scholarship at Connect with Kids
• Funding for Women in Sport from the Womens Sports Foundation (Thanks Gymnastics Coaching for sharing)
• Check out the Medals from Rio 2007 – Light the Torch has a great photo of the medals from the PanAm Games
• Golf Girl’s Diary has some great photos of Michelle Wie and other cool golf gear

Thanks to the Mothers who:

• Drive their daughters to practice – day in, day out
• Endure game after game, rain or shine, smile intact
• Sit in hard bleachers watching routine after routine, cheering for each and everyone
• Wash the uniforms, leotards, swim suits, and skating dresses with care
• Wipe the tears of disappointment and tears of joy with the same level of attention
• Love and support their daughters as individuals first and athletes second

Happy Mother’s Day! We love you all.
