Are you the wife of a professional athlete or high-profile figure ? Are your dreams on hold while you watch your husband live out his?
Sidelined No More discusses one of the greatest struggles of a wife married to a high-profile professional athlete: losing her identity. When she’s thrust into a world of fame, fortune, stress, and pressure, few can relate to or comprehend it. A woman who was once strong, confident, and sure of herself doesn’t even recognize who she sees in the mirror. Who understands? Who can sympathize? Who even sees that there’s a woman behind the shadows of her husband longing to be seen, uncertain of her purpose, and doubtful of her worth? As a former NFL wife herself, author Eileen Noyes will walk with you on a journey to get you out of the shadows and truly living again.
“I see her. I can sympathize. I understand because I was her.” —Eileen
• Find your true identity outside of being just “the wife of…”
• Understand and live out the God-given purpose for which you are destined.
• Find hope in the midst of your storm.
• Walk confidently with clarity, wisdom and strength in all seasons that come with the game of professional sports.
Yet, all that changed in one day when I bought my one-way
ticket to Green Bay, Wisconsin. I left everything I knew to marry my NFL
husband. Needless to say, this wasn’t easy for me. I went from sunny California
to cold Wisconsin, from having my established community to knowing no one but
my spouse, from 40-hour work weeks with daily interaction with hundreds of
athletes to no work and no regular contact with anyone. This was not slowly or
progressively, rather, all at once.

Where do I fit in? Who do I hang out with? What
do I do with my time? What is an NFL wife supposed to look like? Was I supposed
to dress a certain way? Act a certain way? Who am I now? Was I supposed to be
in the public eye like he was, or was I supposed to stay behind the scenes as his
support system? Was I just along for his ride? Was I supposed to hide in his
shadow as he lives out his calling? Was my identity only “the wife of...”?
