If you’re a Mom, don’t read any further…. that’s right, stop reading because we want this to be a surprise! For you!

Now… if you’re a player or a dad of a player or even a coach, this is your chance to do something nice for Mother’s Day, which, you (hopefully) know, is this Sunday – May 10, 2015.

We’d like to do something special for the Moms who mean so much to us: on Sunday, we’ll run a “Mother’s Day Tribute” article and here’s what we’d like you to do:

PLAYERS—write your thoughts on what your MOM means to YOU. And, if you’d like, send in a PHOTO of your mom, perhaps with you two TOGETHER!

Here are some ideas to help you (you don’t have to use these… they’re just idea starters!):

• What has your mom done to show how much she loves you?
• How has she helped you in life, be it softball, school or otherwise?
• What do you like best about your mom? Her sense of humor? her patience? her sacrifices she’s made for you?
• What’s an example or story that shows how special she is?
• When you think of your mom and your love for her, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
• Maybe you fill in the blank to this: “My mom is great because____________________.”

E-mail your Mother’s Day tributes by this Saturday (May 9) no later than noon EST to Brentt@FullCountSoftball.com.

Your write-ups can be as long as you’d like—one sentence or a couple paragraphs. And, if possible, remember to send in a photo!

Dads and coaches: let your players know about this opportunity to pay tribute to the Moms who hopefully mean so much to their little girls!
