Today more than ever, Moms are our everyday HEROs.
This Mother’s Day will be different than previous ones. Mizuno is celebrating and honoring the Moms across the U.S. and Canada. Our Mizuno Athletes reflect on some of their favorite memories with their mom and celebrating this special holiday.
Join some of these Mizuno Athletes and others this Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT for a special #MizunoMom Mother’s Day Instagram LIVE concert.

How is your Mom an everyday HERO to you?
“My mom has always been there for me regardless of how I performed. She was always interested and cared about how I felt. It puts your mind at ease knowing that even if you swim horribly, there are still people out there that love you.”
SAMANTHA SHOW, FASTPITCH SOFTBALL
“My mom is my hero because she’s always a positive, strong independent woman, and she loves her people. She is always there when I need her and wants nothing but the best for me.”
In one to two sentences, what is one piece of advice your mom gave you as you grew up that helped you be the person and the athlete you are today?
“She taught me how to fake a throw to first base when I was in 8u, and I still use it to this day! It’s believable and I’ve gotten runners out with it!”
DIDI GREGORIUS, PRO BASEBALL
