Just a few miles down the road from YSC Academy, parents of those athletes met at a nearby ACME on Thursday night where they picked up some useful tips on how they should be fueling their children.
Led by Drexel Master’s Student Leah Tsui, the parents were given an in-depth tour around the store; stopping in different sections to go over the benefits those foods would have on their athletes. One of the main focal points was addressing the different dietary needs a young athlete has compared to someone who isn’t as active.
“Today’s tour is about teaching the parents of the YSC athletes so they know how to fuel their kids,” Tsui explained.
