1-on-1 with Up2Us Sports is a virtual series hosted by Up2Us Sports where we sit down and speak with athletes, coaches, partners and others about interesting topics related to our work in the Sports-Based Youth Development field. Get up close and personal with guests of all sports backgrounds, all focused on amplifying the message of our mission: transforming youth, programs and communities.

On Thursday, May 26th, we hosted a conversation with Professional Climber, World Champion, Philanthropist and Up2Us Sports Ambassador Sasha DiGiulian to talk about the launch of her new company, Send Bars. We found out about Sasha's passion for purposeful eating and how, when she couldn't find a nutrition bar in the store that she wanted to eat, she made it.

"I started making my own bars in college. There was no easy way to get greens when I was studying, working or traveling to remote locations to climb. Eating store bought crag food never made me feel good. I knew I could do better. Better for me. Better for the planet. Better for everyone who wants to get out there and do what they love, knowing they are eating something that's truly additive to their adventure."
