[quote=Anonymous]I am the same way as an adult and always have been--I was a D1 athlete. Make sure she is hydrated ALL the time--not just game day. Around the clock! Do what you can to make shade for her. If she plays a sport with tournaments or multiple games, keep her in the shade or under a tent between games. Make sure she wears cooling, wicking fabrics. Get her one of those sport towels that stays cool and wet. Get her a small cooler she can take with her and keep ice packs, the towel, and drinks in it. I got heat exhaustion during a Spartan race this past summer and doing the next one in a looser, cooler top and taking the cold towel with me helped TREMENDOUSLY. good luck!![/quote]
