Athletes Make The Best Moms | Sequoya Broomfield, Bay Shore, NY
How has being an athlete—or simply your love for sports—shaped your approach to life as a parent, professional, or community member?
S.B.: Being a sports mom has shaped my approach on life as far working hard for something you want work hard for because nobody will hand it to you.
What is your biggest concern for your family, both youth and adults, as they face societal pressures in sports—whether as players or coaches—while building meaningful lives within and beyond sports?
S.B.: My biggest concern for my children who are so heavily involved in sports to prepare them to think outside of sports as well. It’s great to love basketball but always have a plan B.
What advice would you give young athletes—girls and boys—about valuing their journey in sports and life beyond the game?
S.B.: Don’t lose your passion for the game. Focus on your craft only and don’t be distracted by what any other players are doing.
