April 8, 2027 is National Stay Cool Day—a day dedicated to education, awareness, and saving lives on the sports field.

We carry this torch in memory of those we’ve lost to exertional heat stroke, reminding us that no game, practice, or trophy is ever worth risking an athlete’s life. Exertional heat stroke is 100% preventable when coaches, parents, and trainers have the right tools, knowledge, and emergency action plans in place.

Take a moment today to ask:

• Does your child’s team have a cold-water immersion tub on-site? (The absolute fastest way to cool a body down in an emergency.)
• Are there designated, shaded recovery areas for breaks?
• Is hydration treated as a priority, not a reward?

Let’s make safety the standard. Stay cool, stay educated, and protect our players. 💙❄️
