The Heat: Braeden's Story and another Reminder

"One year ago a 19-year-old football player from New Jersey arrived in western Kansas to start his dream of playing in the pros. But after just one practice Braeden Bradforth was dead of exertional heatstroke, leaving his family devastated and Garden City Community College (GCCC) to explain how it happened."

'I ... thought he was dead': Three football players nearly drown during 'exercise' involving sweaters in a pool.

"It was three weeks before the start of the season for the West Valley High School football team in Fairbanks, Alaska, and 40 players participated in a two-hour conditioning program deemed essential by the coach. In one activity, the players had to wear a sweater in the pool, remove it, and then put it back on — all while swimming in the deep end.

But not all of the Wolf Pack players could swim — a fact that didn’t seem to concern Coach Roy Hessner"
