I’m sharing tips on how to make the most out of your first-time visit.
…Without fail, I’m always down to the wire when it comes to annual sports physicals. They need to be turned in annually so you would think I would have a better handle on them by now but they seem to sneak up on me EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
This typically stresses me out because then I’m scrambling for an appointment in between off days and practices.
I’m sharing tips to make your life easier if you find yourself in a similar predicament trying to schedule a last-minute sports physical for your child.

Back to School also means Back to Sports for our family. I’ll admit that I love our summer sports hiatus because summer flies by too fast as it is.
My boys start school mid August and fall sports start practicing a few weeks before that. When practices begin before school starts, you have to be ready.
I’ve got one in football and one playing fall baseball for the 1st time this year which will keep our family occupied for a while.
I didn’t want to spend a ton of time shopping for sports equipment which made a trip to Dick’s Sporting Goods a convenient stop.
This post is sponsored by Vocalpoint and DICK’s Sporting Goods®. All opinions are my own.
When it comes to selecting items, I let my husband take the lead in guiding my kids because he all about sports, ALL the time. Dick’s Sporting Goods is one of the few stores that my kids don’t complain about going to.
If anything, my kids want to stay longer because they start to sneak over to check out the shoes and athletic apparel for back to school clothes. In their world, comfort and athletic clothing is king.
Here are some items to check off if your kids are playing football or fall baseball.

I’m outnumbered in my home. I’m the only girl in a house full of sports-loving boys which means that it’s ALWAYS sports season.
I really don’t mind attending games once or twice a season. It’s variety and my family is always excited when I’m willing to go with them. Make the most of it and ask them to tell you the rules and to explain what’s going on. (they love that)
I’ve actually become more interested in an athlete once I heard their backstory. Ask your family who their favorite players are and what they admire about them.
This one can be hard for me. Sometimes I really don’t care about the latest stat….but my kids do. I have to remind myself that they aren’t always as passionate about the things that I enjoy either.
I talk to my boys a lot about the power of social media. It can be used for a lot of positives that can include incredible opportunities and it can also strip someone of everything they have worked hard for when it’s used in a negative way.
There are also lots of teachable moments from the headlines to talk about what integrity looks like on AND off the field.
I don’t really like to spend my time that way but my family does notice if I’m not with them. Even if you are in the same room and working on something else, it means a lot when they sense you are near.
The food you eat a sporting event is part of the culture and the experience.
This benefits you two-fold. You get out of cooking AND your family becomes your biggest fan!
There are screens in every direction so everyone is happy.
Kids of all ages love playing on the devices while waiting for their food.
My family sampled some of the new menu items at Buffalo Wings and Rings during a recent visit.
We tried the pretzel
BALLPARK PRETZEL BITES (Soft and airy deep-fried pretzel bites, served with a generous portion of queso dipping sauce topped with jalapeños and salsa)
We each have different favorites when it comes to wings.
I LOVE crazy hot spicy but I don’t like the mess of wings so I prefer boneless instead. I wanted to mix it up and sample the JACK’D UP WINGS (Sweet meets heat. Five boneless wings hand tossed in sweet Thai chili and sea salt caramel. Topped with applewood-smoked bacon crumbles, black sesame seeds and scallions— garnished with caramel corn)
They were soooo good!
My boys each ordered a COKE® FLOAT (A generous scoop of vanilla ice cream in Coca-Cola®—topped with whipped cream and a cherry)
My husband and my older son ordered wings. The food at Wings and Rings is fresh not frozen which explains why it tastes so good.
My younger son opted for the boneless tenders and an order of onion rings.
After our meal, everyone in our family had a full belly and even a few take out boxes. We also had a great time watching the game and eating together at Buffalo Wings and Rings.
That was a move well played by mom.
What do you like to eat when you are watching the big game?
