Over 50 Special Olympics athletes from the Kansas City Metro area attended a Chiefs Clinic as part of the Fuel Up to Play 60 campaign.  Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school program that teaches nutrition and physical activity components to students in order to empower them to make healthy decisions throughout the year. Athletes took part in kicking, throwing and catching drills, in addition to strength and resistance training. Quarterbacks Alex Smith (#11) and Chase Daniel (#10) along with Punter Dustin Colquitt (#2) were three of many KC Chiefs players who worked the athletes.  A huge thank you to the Kansas City Chiefs for a great program; everyone learned a lot and had a great time.
