Pro Sports Wives Day, is celebrated on February 11 to recognize the super ladies who manage and support their home and their sports husband’s career. Did you catch the game last night? How did your favorite player perform? You would have certainly had a good time, but do you ever think about the incredible women who stand beside them and support them? This is why we celebrate Pro Sports Wives Day.
History of Pro Sports Wives Day
If you think that the wives of pro sportsmen are popular just because of their husbands’ success, you’re wrong. A marriage built in the shadow of a successful sports career automatically overshadows the wives’ success, character, and personality. The wife is the one who manages the family and her husband’s career successfully. In fact, they are the true heroines that deserve our respect and appreciation as much as their husbands.
Pro Sports Wives Day was founded by the Professional Sports Wives Association (P.S.W.A.) in 2006. Professional Sports Wives Association is a non-profit and charitable organization for professional sports wives. This organization seeks to organize and unite all the wives of professional sportspeople and provide information about household management, childcare, financial planning, franchise opportunities, domestic violence, marital support, and more. They found Pro Sports Wives Day to acknowledge their role behind the scenes in the life of successful sports players.
Wives of professional athletes do more than just show up to events and appear in television ads alongside their husbands. Most wives seek no special appreciation for themselves but use their fame and position to make a difference in the community. They help their husbands succeed in their careers while also managing their family life and career.
So, now you’re thinking about the teams and players you follow and the wives behind their success. Then it worked! Spread the word and tell others about the amazing life of a pro sports player’s wife.
