Fueling Young Athletes: Insights from Elyse Kopecky

Thank you to everyone who attended our first Scobie Institute for Wellness Speaker Series with Elyse Kopecky on Monday, September 15! It was a wonderful evening filled with thoughtful dialogue around fueling young athletes, the importance of fats, strategies for tackling the sugar epidemic, Elyse’s philosophy of “indulgent nourishment” and the harm of restrictive diet trends.

“The most important thing to remember is to get into the kitchen and cook and have fun with it," Elyse said during her presentation. "Sharing meals with your family is the best thing you can do to give your kids lifelong healthy habits and to inspire them to also want to cook meals and have family dinners together."

Families can watch the recording of the evening presentation on the Parent Portal until September 30. Check out the gallery of photos from Elyse’s visit below, including a cooking session with Upper School girls cross country athletes.
