Mom’s important role in molding young athletes

According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), obesity has become one of the most pressing nutritional issues of Filipino children today, with about five in 100 Filipino kids overweight. Due to this increasing number, there is a need for parents to raise their children with healthier, energetic and nutritionally balanced lifestyles, which can best be established with sports programs.

Moms, as always, have a crucial role in helping their young players reach his or her star athlete potential. The Manila Times lists the ways mothers can support their young champs from the sidelines with suggestions from Alaska Milk and NBA Philippines’ Jr. NBA Program.
