In Arkansas, two players suffered severe heatstroke during a record-breaking summer, both ending up in the same intensive care unit with significant internal injuries. As athletes become larger and faster, the alarming rise in concussions and life-threatening injuries prompts urgent discussions about the measures in place to protect young players.
