Right now just windy and humid. Wait till August when mid day is close to 100 if not 100 and humid. hell High School we ran 2 days doing wind sprints and running stadium steps just had to be careful about what you had for lunch. If snot nosed high school'ers can do it I expect nothing less for a profession in shorts. lol

About 85, but the humidity is about 85 also.

Anytime the humidity is over 60% their trainers should of adequately hydrated their athletes before they even took the field. There is no excuse for that on the trainers ends.

Stop it. You don't know what they did or didn't do. If your body isn't acclimated to that type of climate, it doesn't matter how much you hydrate. Plus, the players just got there yesterday. You don't hydrate in one day. It's a constant thing, especially going into a climate like that. Even then, the body can only take so much sudden change. Guys get heat illnesses in the first days of camp everywhere. I can assure you that the ATHLETIC TRAINERS have abundant water, Gatorade, cold towels, fans, etc., provided for the players.

If you don't know what they did do or not do then take your own advice as well.

We aren't talking about high altitude acclimation. We are talking about simple dehydration. It is not a complicated acclimation process. Unless he was severely dehyrated the day before he started training , he shouldn't of hit heat exhaustion.

I am sorry but if one of the athletic trainers has an athlete go down due to heat exhaustion, the blame goes squarely on the trainer and not the athlete. Doesn't matter how much water/carbs are provided on the sideline if they aren't being monitored during practice properly. Especially due to recommendations of being administered specific amounts at 15 minute intervals.

There are specific quantities to drink before and during training in high levels of humidity. He would not of been allowed on the training field if he had been dehydrated.

I'm not trying to act like I know more than I do here. I'm not putting the "blame" anywhere. You're placing it all on the AT, taking all the responsibility away from the player, coaches, and environment, which is wrong. Sure, there are plenty of situations when an athlete shouldn't be on the field. But I'm an AT. I've measured plenty of athlete's hydration levels. A guy can pee in a cup, measure at an appropriately hydrated level on a refactometer, drink plenty of fluids before and during activity, and still succumb to heat illness.

No, it's not high altitude, but it's still an environmental change that requires acclimitization. Otherwise, the NATA wouldn't have a position statement on it. Again, the body doesn't react well to sudden changes like that. It could be the AT's fault. Maybe they screwed up. But you don't know that. And with all due respect, to say it's ALWAYS the AT's fault anytime an athlete suffers heat illness is unfair.
