You will benefit from the same techniques used by top college and professional teams as well as from a complete arsenal of more than 100 drills. From quarterback rollouts for winning touchdowns to block-shedding maneuvers for drive-stopping sacks, former NFL coach Tom Bass translates technical instruction into on-field application, depicting exactly how each pass, pattern, route, catch, block, tackle, and kick is performed.

A review of the symptoms reported by real patients with clinically documented EAH or EAHE shows that the symptoms they develop are specific, common, and unmistakable. The order in which these diagnostic symptoms typically appear is usually the following:

1. Impaired exercise performance
This probably occurs at quite low levels of weight gain (>1% BW gain) and is due either to swelling of the brain cells or to an increased pressure within the brain (intracerebral pressure), either or both of which impair brain function.

While an acute weight loss of greater than 2% may impair exercise performance if it is associated with an uncorrected thirst (Sawka and Noakes, 2007), we and others have measured levels of dehydration of 6% or greater in winning athletes in ultramarathon races (Sharwood, Collins, et al., 2002; Sharwood, Collins, et al., 2004), as was typically the case in the 1950s and ’60s when athletes were actively discouraged from drinking during exercise. In contrast, athletes who gain 6% or more of their body weight during exercise are likely to be close to death.
