Is Your Child's Health at Risk?

Now that the warm weather is upon us, at least for the most part, it's critical that children and young athletes learn how to maintain healthy hydration levels. Teaching kids about the importance of hydrating is not about without holding water in an attempt to "toughen" kids up as so many coaches feel a need to do. In fact, it's sad to think that coaches, as well as some parents, judge the quality of a practice or game by how hot and sweaty their child is afterwards. Not only is it wrong, it's very unsafe for the children involved.


Please tell me; what does running a group of kids into the ground until they're so hot and sweaty that they can barely move going to teach them? This practice serves only one purpose as far as I'm concerned: to reveal that the coach in question has absolutely no idea what he or she is doing. In my opinion this coach, and there are a lot of them out there, has no business working with kids in the first place.
