We at the Korey Stringer Institute are heartbroken—and frustrated.
Why? Because exertional heat stroke (EHS) deaths are 100% preventable.

🧊 Cold-water immersion saves lives.
Recently published data show a 100% survival rate in 454 EHS patients when treated promptly and properly.

Yet, every summer, we see avoidable deaths—often football linemen in August. This is the 4th case of EHS in high school since July 1st.

Linemen, due to their size and physical demands, require conditioning programs tailored to their unique needs and risks.

✅ Best practices are clear:
*Heat acclimatization
*Environmental monitoring
*Conditioning and training that matches physical abilities
*Cold-water immersion on-site
*“Cool first, transport second”

🎓 Athletic trainers and coaches must lead the way to make sure workouts match both fitness level and heat conditions.

📢 No AT on-site? Parents, guardians, coaches, school leaders—speak up!
Athletes deserve medical professionals at every practice and game.

Let’s stop the heartbreak.
Let’s protect our athletes.

"Baseline" concussion assessments establishes what is "normal" before a head injury occurs. This is an important part of a comprehensive concussion management program. Contact us today before Soccer season gets into full swing.

Fun fact, arm pain is most often a result not the cause. Give me a call/text if you have a young athlete having preseason arm pain. It is definitely NOT a "push through the pain" situation. We can work through mechanics, stretching, mobilizations, balance, and strengthening the entire chain.
