"I had a kid drop out of a drill in practice, he was face down, and I didn't know if it was heat-related, or what," said Nick Collins, the head football coach. "We have kids get hit in practice and we need someone there who is skilled enough to evaluate for a concussion."
I know it is a big jump from college to high school, but imagine if there was no trainer at Washington State, where a college basketball player was struck in the head during a practice, collapsed and appeared to stop breathing.
"...took an elbow to the face during the scrimmage... he went down on all fours, rose to his feet, and walked off the court before falling to his knees, then collapsing on the floor."
the trainer administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for one breath before he responded and regained consciousness
