Teacher’s Sports Fest: Nurturing The Next Football Champions at the 21st Alaska Football Cup

Sports here in the Philippines are taking its high peak and athletes today are on the rise in giving our country winning titles for every competition. Seeing these athletes winning makes our hope and love for the sports arise, but seeing how they train for it every single day is another story. Training is hard as going there towards victory. Even young athletes can attest to it. I’d seen many of my student’s juggling themselves between academics and sports training. It’s exhausting and burnout for them to adjust. That’s why support system, well-quality training and right nutrition is one of the essential factors for an athlete’s growth and development in sports like football.

Alaska in Nourishing the Next Athlete Champions!

Looking at the core values of Alaska Milk in nurturing young athletes in a sport like a football, it takes a lot of discipline, hard work, determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship. These core values make Alaska Milk atop of its game. Looking at football, you have to get down on the field and be ready for the pain that comes to the training. The National Nutrition Survey of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) states that health issues are best addressed by adopting an active lifestyle along with a healthy diet and regular drinking of milk, at least twice daily. Football takes a lot of nutritional needs for an athlete’s body, especially the young ones. Alaska Milk aims to give the best nutrition possible for young kids and athlete aspirants.

And for that, Alaska Milk aims to encourage young athletes to join in these sports activities. Instead of engaging them in passive activities such as watching television, surfing the internet or spending too much time on social media, Alaska encourages children to engage in sports and outdoor as an active alternative to keep them active and physically and mentally strong.
