Abstract
Heat-related issues and injuries that arise during practices and competitions have to be viewed as extremely dangerous occurrences that can quickly escalate into life-threatening situations. A recent wrongful death lawsuit filed against Florida Atlantic University by the parents of a football player who passed away after experiencing a heat-related injury during practice highlights the potential issues that all schools could inevitably face in these circumstances.
