Growing up, no matter what activity I participated in (dance, cheerleading, theater), my mom was always my biggest fan, supporting me and shuffling me to and from practices and performances. When you are pursuing your dreams, it means the world to have someone special there to cheer you on and encourage you.
Procter & Gamble invites you to celebrate and send off three-time Olympian and World Champion Water Polo Player Brenda Villa, as she and her mom, Rosario, head off to the London 2012 Olympic Games. As the Proud Sponsor of Moms for the London 2012 Olympic Games, P&G is celebrating moms around the world and saying “Thank you, Mom.”
As Brenda began to excel at water polo, her mom, a Mexican immigrant, encouraged her to pursue her goals and dreams in a completely unfamiliar sport. You can read more about Brenda’s journey here.
When raising children, especially athletes, Rosario gives this advice to moms; “Encourage them, support them and allow them to follow their dreams. Make sure you give them the confidence to follow their own values and beliefs and stay true to themselves.”
To help inspire you, P&G is offering great brands- available at Costco – delivering the performance you want and the value you expect.
