Eric played every sport he could, until an injury on the football field ended his playing days.
He didn’t walk away from the game. He crossed the line and started coaching.
He coached Little League baseball, the age when kids are still figuring out whether they love the game or are just good at it. He even made it to the Little League World Series.
By day he worked at NBCUniversal. At night and on weekends he built Ice Athletes, because of one belief he never let go of: no athlete, in any sport and at any age, should suffer a heat injury that could have been prevented.
The treatment that saves those athletes is simple, a tub of ice water. It costs almost nothing, and it’s still missing from far too many sidelines.
Eric died in 2026, before his work was finished. The people who loved him and the athletic community he gave his life to made him a promise that it wouldn’t end with him.
His mission lives on in every athlete who walks off the field after practice on their own two feet.
On April 8, 2027, athletes on campuses across America will step into ice baths at the same moment, for the record and for Eric.
Finish what he started.
It’s free for your school to join, and it takes three minutes of one practice.
