She's a female, but yeah sad stuff.
it's a big difference then how we were raised. At football practice growing up we practiced in the heat and we weren't given water. If someone ask for water they were made fun of.
Times have changed, particularly after Korey Stringer. Those gassers until you pass out days are over.
Someone's ass is gonna fry for this
Rest In Peace
I really thought this stuff was finally done with.

No parent should receive a call from school informing them of the death of their child.
RIP to the young lady.

Like said earlier, you couldn't have said this any better.
how long before they start banning or dropping football for highschool level... quite a number of young athletes drop from either serious injuries or heat exhaustion because of asshole coaches..
Difference was you were guys not girls... Plus the kids of yesterday are not the same like the kids of today... Way more fragile these days... Can't use same methods
But but there was a thread about how women don't know how to raise kids because a mom was upset how the coach was working her kids.
Pro athletes, Tier 1 Operators, college students, etc. have all seen folks die from heat exhaustion. it makes no sense for coaches to keep doing these old school drills.

Damn man. Rip young sista.
Who is this dumb ass coach?This pisses me the fuck off.
RIP to the young girl Imani.
Rest in peace and condolences to her family & teammates. Like others have said, keep an eye on coaches’ tactics and bullshit. Had coaches back in the day that restricted water intake during spring and summer games and practices. “Water gives you cramps. You’re weak!” - meanwhile kids are out there struggling. Parents confronted coaching and yelled at them for their idiocy. Told them that kids’ health were being jeopardized.
Post of the week,........
It's a little more complicated. A Heat stroke is damn near 99% recoverable given the proper procedures to bring the body temp down. The problem is these smaller programs with less resources try to emulate the larger programs but don't have the facilities to match the workout. You have to have trained medical staff on the field for that type of workout and a thorough cool down procedure waiting in the wings. You can't run Georgia Tech drills with an Albany State budget, someone is gonna get hurt. RIP to the young beauty.
Any coach that says this bullshit should be fired....
Parents were fucking pissed, man.
what are you talking about...kids were dying back then just that there was no social media to spread the news wider. heat stroke is heat stroke...kids back in the 50's 60's 70s 80s and 90s were just as susceptible to it then as they are now.
NO ONE should be doing drills in 90+ degree heat in direct sunlight no matter how you SLICE it.
that shit is just STUPID.Now this girl died and now EVERYONE involved is in COVER YOUR ASS mode. And the fucked up part is the shit WILL happen again....right now as we type there's some asshole coach running drills in a heatwave.
how are you going to educate yourself when you have a coach telling some 15 year old he or she is a weak pussy for want to drink in 100 degree heat???
I know its just a commercial but its the attitude and action of a coach like that is the reason that girl is dead.
COULDNT BE ME , SOMEBODY WOULD BE FOLLOWING MY BABY !! FUCK THAT !dude, you articulated that PERFECTLY!
Fixed... Thanks
Not with my kids. Plus hydration don't start at practice and if your kids are serious about sports they should kick their soda habits. The shit is tragic. However, Parents have more control than they think..
This.
Preseason conditioning drills I went through during my career were probably some of the most mentally and physically taxing exercises I’ll ever encounter in life.
The key is to make sure you get proper medical evaluation before partaking in it because some of these coaches are sadistic and look at their players as a steppingstone to the next level.
