Are you prepared to coach youth sports? Education in sports safety is a powerful tool and we want every youth sports coach to be fully prepared for the unexpected. We ask our teams for their best and we believe as coaches and parents we must do the same. #sportssafety #PREPARE

Unique to ASPIRE is the ability to receive a non-invasive thermography scan. This quick assessment can provide athletes with a visual representation of areas in the body that may be prone to more inflammation & thus require a greater need for rest and recovery #thermography

Preventing Heat Exhaustion & Dehydration
What can you do?

Stay cool:
-Avoid the hottest times of the day.
-Reduce the intensity & duration of workouts.

Stay hydrated:
-Drink regularly.
-Drink more than just water. When you exert yourself, you lose electrolytes as well as fluid.
