*States act to help high school athletes avoid heat stroke, and other bad injuries.*

          This article is about the heat, and other things, effecting the athletes in a negative way, such as heat stroke, and other injuries. It's becoming a very serious issue, especially with school starting earlier and earlier, so the athletes are having to become used to the heat. Not just the heat though, there is also overuse of joints and muscles for athletes in certain sports. These athletes are supposed to take break, to let everything rest for a while, but with parents and coaches pushing them harder, it can be more difficult. Mark Hyman, a sports journalist, is quoted saying, "before, when kids played sports, and they knew their elbow or knee hurt, they stopped playing. With adult involvement, parents and coaches have been the ones to push them beyond physical limits."

          I think this is a good article, with solid points. Athletes are expected to push themselves farther than they should have to. They are expected to practice and practice, even if it means they hurt themselves. They have to practice in every weather condition, and its not good for them. Athletes need breaks from practicing, especially if its hot outside.
