From the coach’s wife

For nearly 13 years, I’ve been a coach’s wife, traveling from city to city with our three kids, cheering on my husband’s team, and turning every trip into an adventure. Whether it’s a small-town park, a local diner, or a hidden gem only the locals know about, I love finding little ways to make each stop memorable for the kids and me until it’s game time.

I created Game Day Getaways to help other coaching families and fans do the same, to make travel days feel a little easier and a lot more fun! My hope is that this guide helps you navigate game day weekends with less stress and more memories made along the way.

I’d love to grow this amazing community of coaching families. Tag me in your adventures @melissakhemrick, and follow along as my family and I tackle another season of basketball and family adventures.
