Smart move Director.
We had a kid here in Georgia (Rockdale) die as a result of football practice and heat monday. Of course there could have been some underlying causes that an autopsy may determine, but he was a 15 year old apparrently healthy kid! I saw on tonights news that some HS coaches are carrying heat monitors which indicate danger levels. I didn't know they existed, but may be nice items to have.
Did the director take any heat (really, no pun intended) for that decision?
