That 15-1 Packers team lost at home by 17 points. Why does it need to be the best team? I want a championship team which entails playing well when everything is on the line. 2.) Heat illness could have had a sentence dedicated to it saying that "it's not all about the water", emphasizing the importance of acclimation, cooling down body temperatures, and not pushing players to the brink of their bodies failing. 1.) Dehydration was a bit shrugged off when, especially in football, sports injuries related to heat illness is still very prevalent in the US.
In a very roundabout way, I'm back to where the show left off, but still a little unsatisfied with the presentation.
So, what's more dangerous? Too much water or not enough? I guess the better question is "HOW MUCH hydration the key to preventing heat related sports maladies?" And the answer is: however much your body tells you to drink when you're thirsty, just like it was pointed out in the show. (Not posting them all but there seem to be a lot more publicized reports of this, you can search yourself). Then I searched "heat stroke football" and came up with a lot more results. Two 17 year old high school football players died because of overhydrating in 2014. A simple Google search of "hyponatremia football" comes up with several cases: Hardly ever do we hear of non-endurance athletes experiencing over-hydration or hyponatremia.īut I looked into it. It seems like every summer we hear of some high school or college football player dying or nearly dying due to heat stroke or dehydration. As a result, I'm unsure if I ever heard of players in these sports experiencing over-hydration. I know a lot of football and other sport coaches that still withhold water due to the old belief that "water is weakness" (thanks Bear Bryant). I was seriously questioning the dehydration segment. I'm assuming most of us are young males that have an interest in football and sports, so I think this one in particular will get nitpicked more than usual. I think I can speak for multiple people that while we may be initially taken aback by the episode, I think that the episode achieved Adam's goals of questioning our assumptions and doing research into what we believe was dogma. I really like this show, but this episode definitely felt off from the rest. This number would mean more if we knew how many non football player's brains showed signs of CTE for comparison. Then there's the 96% of football player's brains showed signs of CTE. And if you're going to mention 12 people dying in the history of all sports, then could you at least mention how many people are hospitalized every year for dehydration, even if it's just the sports related ones. Did he even mention any performance statistics in regards to hydration. In my experience the emphasis put on hydration is more for peak performance than the fear of dehydration. Is he trying to discredit tournaments in general? In the example he gave he didn't mention the Giants had to win 3 straight road games just to get to the superbowl. I was really disappointed in this episode, there seemed to be holes in almost every point Adam was trying to make.Ĭlaiming that the #1 team in football, or any sport, is the one with the best regular season record instead of the one that wins a tournament.
