The Playbook: Houston 2026 is a two-day conference designed for moms managing their child's athletic journey.
For decades, Black mothers have played a pivotal role in their child's athletic success, yet they've rarely been given the tools, recognition, or access to be empowered advocates in the process. Black Sports Moms® exists to change that.

What You'll Learn
At The Playbook: Houston, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to:
-
Better understand the contracts and agreements surrounding your athlete, so you can identify red flags, ask the right questions, and never feel lost in a conversation that directly impacts your child's future.
-
Learn how to position your athlete as a brand and attract the right partnerships at the right time, with guidance from trusted experts who have done this work.
-
Access financial literacy tools from vetted partners who will help you build the foundation to ensure the money your athlete earns outlasts the moment it was made.
-
Show up as more than a proud mom. Show up as an equipped, informed, and confident advocate, the kind your child needs in every room, at every level.


CLARITY
CONNECTIONS
You will walk away with your people. Mothers from across the country navigating this journey professional athletes' moms, collegiate athletes' moms, youth athletes' moms. Vetted sports professionals. The network that becomes your lifeline when you need guidance or confidence before your child chooses an agent, signs a contract, or accepts an offer.
TOOLS
A strategic playbook. Templates. Access to the resources and experts who built this community. Everything you need to move from overwhelmed to equipped, from hoping for the best to knowing you've got this.
You will understand the contracts, the decisions, and the landscape surrounding your athlete. No more sitting in meetings feeling lost. No more signing things you don't fully grasp. You walk away knowing exactly what your child is signing and why.
But you'll walk away with more than education

Can I really pull off having a hand in my child’s career?
Of course you can! In fact, you already do. The only thing standing between where you are and where you need to be is the knowledge. And that is exactly what this room is built to give you.

Does a support system that gives me all the tools necessary to navigate this journey actually exist?
You are looking at it. In just one year, this community has helped mothers negotiate millions in contracts, establish business entities, protect their athletes' brands, and access legal and financial resources that were previously out of reach.

Okay, but how am I going to find the time?
Girl, there will never be a perfect time. There will always be a game, a practice, a meeting. But, this conference is an investment in not only yourself but your child's dreams and future. Two days in Houston could change the trajectory of the next several years for your family. It's important that you make the time.
But don't just take it from us, hear from past attendees...
