The latest heat wave that has been gripping the East coast is no laughing matter. I lived out East for 6 years and know that when the temperature goes over 90 degrees and with the humidity it can be really tough. We and our kids played sports and I can tell you first hand how taxing the heat and humidity can take on your body no matter what shape you are in. Our kids participated in soccer and those early fall soccer games required gatorade individual packets dumped in water to help them stay hydrated. The kids loved learning about the game and the parents participation was great. I helped to coach all three of my kids when they first started to play but now they are older I am able to sit on the sidelines and just watch and enjoy. Basic requirements for practice and the games were soccer shoes, shin guards, and rehydration drinks such as water or Gatorade.
The latest US success in the World Cup will help to keep the fire going for soccer here in the states. You could only imagine what the games would have looked like had the World Cup been held in the states this year with those 100 plus temperatures. In South Africa players were bundled up on the sidelines because they were in the beginning of their Winter season. Even in the cooler weather you need to stay hydrated and they you could see the players taking small packets of liquids to help them rehydrate. Stay cool and enjoy the rest of the summer.
