| Posted: 15 Feb 2013 09:53 PM PST Louisiana swelters in the summer. August is the most intense month, with enervating heat and humidity. Athletes treat admonitions to hydrate well the way we all viewed our mothers' stern warning to stay out of the water for an hour after eating--with surface acquiescence and extreme skepticism. In dozens of cases in the last thirty years athletes have died of dehydration. Henry White was a 21-year-old junior basketball player getting ready for his first season at Grambling State University. On August 26, 2009 he showed up for the earliest conditioning workouts. He spent a rigorous session weight lifting. He then was punished for showing up to campus late by being forced to run four and a half miles on an a day in the heat and humidity of August in Louisiana. He collapsed upon finishing, and he died 12 days later. |
