He goes up on the vault, something he has done many times before, and lands. But something is wrong. In his first event of the first competition, in his last season, your son gets injured. What now?

We are doing all the “lasts” with him, stirring up so much emotion. Recently, we were at his last high school wrestling match, and it all boiled over. I started thinking about everything the sport gave him. He has learned leadership, loyalty, teamwork, and so much more.

Football is a huge part of Green Bay’s culture.  Whether you enjoy watching, playing, or cheering your kids on, Green Bay Area Mom has got you covered.  There are so many options in Green Bay and Appleton for you to enjoy this football season.

Injuries are awful, don’t get me wrong, but the biggest battle oftentimes is the battle going on in one’s mind. The team at OSMS addressed this, and their positivity was contagious.

Truth be told, kids running around, riding bikes, and playing sports in the summer months are generally safe. But accidents happen, and kids are going to get hurt.

Many drownings happen during non-swim or unexpected times; that’s why proper fencing or pool covers, and very close supervision are needed any time children are near water.

A consistent fitness routine is a key component of an overall healthy lifestyle. But workout-related injuries can stop people from sticking with it, especially for women who have a higher risk for common injuries like ankle sprains and stress fractures.  Should we follow the mindset of no pain, no gain?

Parents, athletes, and coaches are anxious to return to the fields and courts, but that return brings common sports injuries back as well.

We are very fortunate to have a High-A Milwaukee Brewers affiliate team right in our backyard. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers play at the Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium, which is located right off the highway in Appleton, WI.

Last summer, my family and I were driving home from our vacation when we decided to make a stop at Lakeside Park in Fond du Lac for a picnic and to help break up the long drive home. I had heard the views of Lake Winnebago at Lakeside Park were beautiful, but what I didn’t know was what an amazing park it is for children!
