"ASAP, When You Need Results ASAP"
If you spent time in the Cincinnati area last week, you know one thing for sure....it was HOT and HUMID! Of course, it's typical July weather for what's known as the "Tri-State". So, why would Northwestern University graduate and recent signee Zach Strief 
of The New Orleans Saints be caught sporting heavy sweatpants and hooded sweatshirt at The Workout @Covington? You'd think that someone who's 6'7" and weighs 349 lbs would want to be a little lighter..... and a bit cooler. However, the big guy was doing whatever he could to prepare himself for the hot and humid conditions of Jackson, Mississippi, the summer camp home of the Saints. Even if it meant donning the official N.U. "Sun Bowl" sweats!
With football season quickly approaching and practices beginning, it's that time of year to keep focused on weather conditions and heat related conditions....some which are deadly. Because football players wear lots of equipment, helmet and practice gear, these players need to be especially cautious. Athletes of other sports are gearing up now, too and those players and coaches need to be equally cognizant of the playing conditions associated with this time of year. The Gatorade Sports Science Institute studies the problems associated with heat and they educate players, parents and coaches about it. Of course, they also try to keep you cooler and hydrated with their product. Checkout the link to the Gatorade Institute above for more information on this subject. And Stay Cool!
Oh Yeah...Good Luck Zach!
