Sanders leads the Similac Moms Alliance, which is an online community of moms that connects with them on a virtual level, providing tips on important issues for mothers, such as nutrition, exercise, deciding whether to stay home or return to work and maintaining life balance while keeping a sense of humor. Sanders said, "It's like having a team of veteran moms in your corner, coaching you and cheering you on."
"The things you learn from sports - setting goals, being part of a team, confidence - that's invaluable. It's not about trophies and ribbons. It's about being on time for practice, accepting challenges and being fearful of the elements." Summer Sanders on ESPN.com
