Practice for the fall sporting season is well under way.
Today’s athletes are playing through the pain, in record high heat. This is something many of their coaches and trainers didn’t have to face during their athletic heydays.
Although it might not feel like it today, the rest of the summer season is going to be sunny and hot.
Today, we hear what's being done to prevent heatstroke, and keep athletes safe on and off the field.
