Summer Months
Way too often we have stories emerge from the professional level to the peewees how an athlete loses their life due to heat stroke, or heat exhaustion. What is the price for life? Anything parents or coaches can do in order to keep their children or athletes safe they should. Summer months are upon us, and the summer heat will creep up sooner than later. Cooling systems for athletes should be a necessity because no one should lose their life because of heat. There are so many ways athletes can cool down from practices and there are ways that parents and coaches can prevent such tragedies. Spending money cooling systems needs to measure in pennies when a life is saved. Spending money on a cooling systems should not be an afterthought or a ‘what-if”, of course hind sight is always 20/20, be prepared now for the heat and the dog days of summer. Protect your children, and your athletes. Having the attitude of “it can never happen to me’ is the wrong attitude to have.
