HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS

 

Prevention

Use the Buddy System. Monitor the condition of your fellow athletes or co-workers and have someone do the same for you.

 

•         HRI can cause a person to become confused or lose consciousness.
 

•         Signs to watch for
 

•         Complaints of not feeling well or not "being right".
 

•         Stumbling, staggering.
 

•         Missed assignments in blocking drills.
 

•         Not performing up to expected levels.

		Note:  A fellow player might appear to be goofing off or not trying, but in reality, he or she may be ill from the heat.   Don't let this type of early warning sign go unnoticed!
