Behind every superstar is often a parent whose sacrifices go unseen. For Randi Mahomes , the mother of NFL icon Patrick Mahomes , her journey as a single mom raising a future MVP was filled with unseen battles, late nights, and moments of doubt. But instead of letting the challenges define her, Randi used them to ignite a movement — one that could reshape how families support young athletes across America.

Inside Randi Mahomes’ journey
Before Patrick Mahomes became a household name and NFL superstar, his mother, Randi Mahomes, was quietly waging her own battle behind the scenes. Long before the draft day celebrations and championship rings, she was a single mom working two jobs, trying to make ends meet while supporting her son's growing dreams.

Reflecting on those tough years, Randi shared, "When Patrick was being recruited, I was working two jobs and trying to figure it all out as a single mom. I didn’t always know what to do and that’s why I made this. It’s everything I’ve learned and wish I knew to help you show up for your athlete, no matter their age," Randi said on Friday.
