Raising Champions | Football For Her X Paula’s Choice
A Mother’s Day Footy Friday Experience for Moms and Caregivers
In partnership with Paula’s Choice, Football For Her invites you to Raising Champions, a special Mother’s Day Footy Friday created to honor and support the mothers/caregivers behind the players.
While participants are out on the field playing, moms and caregivers will gather for a supportive and empowering mental health session led by sports psychologist Dr. Taylor with special guest Karen Thompson, Alyssa and Gisele Thompson's mom!
Together, we will explore building confidence before and after games, strategies for supporting healthy emotional wellbeing, and how to help your athlete balance identity, pressure, and joy in sports.
Each registered mom or caregiver will also receive complimentary skincare products from Paula’s Choice during a dedicated self care moment. Because caring for young athletes starts with caring for yourself.
A space to connect, reflect, and celebrate the women raising champions on and off the field.

Una experiencia de Footy Friday para el Día de las Madres, para mamás y cuidadoras
En colaboración con Paula’s Choice, Football For Her te invita a Raising Champions, una experiencia especial de Footy Friday para celebrar y apoyar a las mamás y cuidadoras detrás de las jugadoras.
Mientras las participantes están en la cancha jugando, las mamás y cuidadoras participarán en una sesión de salud mental guiada por la psicóloga deportiva Dr. Taylor, con la invitada especial Karen Thompson, mamá de Alyssa Thompson y Gisele Thompson.
Juntas exploraremos cómo construir confianza antes y después de los partidos, estrategias para apoyar el bienestar emocional, y cómo ayudar a las atletas a equilibrar identidad, presión y alegría en el deporte.
Cada mamá o cuidadora registrada también recibirá productos de cuidado de la piel de cortesía de Paula’s Choice durante un momento especial de autocuidado. Porque cuidar a las jóvenes atletas empieza por cuidarte a ti misma.
