Dealing with the Heat

Recently there has been LOTS of information about how to deal with the heat for athletes practicing out in the heat. Too much info??? I seriously doubt it. You can't bang this drum loud enough. Heat illnesses are 100% preventable. Football players are not the only athletes at risk....volleyball players are in non-air-conditioned gyms....band members are marching outside....even the coaches are at risk. Don't forget about the officials who will be working games & scrimmages as well!

So what to do? Below are several links you can check out for tips & reference materials:

Arkansas Activities Association

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

PLEASE, be smart out there.
