every experienced and where??
For me, probably summer football camp (HS) one day in Eastman, GA. It got up to 112 degrees that day. We were in 1/2 pads (helmet/shoulder pads & shorts).
It was around 1:00 or 2:00 pm. Back then, you had some hard core coaches that only allowed 2 water breaks.
It was a treat whenever we got Gatorade. Nonetheless, they would make you earn the Gatorade/water breaks….the practices had to be good ones, pushed you to the max.
Had a few wilt and couldn’t go any longer that particular time, one passed out but we kept on going.
The heat index had to be at least 120 or more, the sun was intense as hayul. Have no clue what the field temperature was, so you needed to factor that in also.
Lucky no one “got died”.
Nothing easy, but 2 weeks with your buddies and being fed 3 times a day were special. We all had sleeping bags or cots & slept on the gym floor….good times.
Times you never forget and brothers forever.
I know Kirby is putting them thru HAYUL now, but hard to imagine it any tougher than that. But on the other hand, players are much bigger now.
The second hottest day was when I was in Scottsdale Arizona for 2 weeks, meetings and to unwind. Probably the hottest day (temperature wise) was a 119 or 120 degrees.
Played 18 that particular day.
Pretty sure it never went below 105 degrees for two weeks I was there…but the heat felt a hayul of a lot more pleasurable than the south GA heat (humidity). So it wasn’t that bad, but still hot.
Heat index is already up to 95 degrees here in Saint Louis, still in the AM.
Anyway, those are my two stories…..what’s your hottest day???
