?Health & Safety:
Important message from Drew Brees. Heat stroke can affect an athlete in any sport and is especially dangerous at the high school level because in part of a shortage of athletic trainers who are trained to recognize and immediately address the symptoms. For this reason it is a leading killer of athletes at the high school level.
