[quote=Anonymous]I have always struggled in the heat as a kid and even more so as an adult. My son is the same. To start with it takes time to acclimate to the hotter temperatures. This past weekend we went from cool and rainy to excessive heat. Hydration is important but so isn't getting ready for heat. For me personally that means spending more time outside in the heat, walking and exercising - water all week long before a long run or race. I actually take my kid outside for 10-15 minutes a few hours before the game and have him warm up, run a mile, let him cool down, drink more liquids and then sit in the shade. At the game he has shade, and the spray bottle of water and wet towel for his neck. I have also discovered if he goes into the hotter weather in good shape he's better capable of managing thru a game then if he's getting into shape in the heat. [/quote]
