On this episode of Courtside Forever, I sat down with Jen Cohen Crompton—a Philly mom, entrepreneur, fitness coach, and host of the Say It In Sports podcast. Jen started her show to amplify stories in youth and women’s sports, and we dove into why that mission matters more than ever.

From committing to fitness as a way to honor her dad to crossing the finish line of an Ironman, Jen’s journey is all about resilience, community, and purpose. We talked about how the pandemic reminded us of the importance of movement, how women fans often connect through the stories behind the game, and why small, consistent changes can lead to big life shifts.

Jen’s also an author—her children’s book encourages kids to get moving and feel included, and she’s a big believer that modeling healthy habits starts at home. We also talked about parenting in sports: the pressure to win, the role of coaches, and why being a good teammate is just as important as scoring points.

Whether you're a parent on the sidelines, a fan in the stands, or someone just trying to move more and live better, Jen’s story is a reminder that sports can teach us way more than just how to play the game—they can teach us how to show up for each other.
