Danny Jones was a player for the international team of whales. He made a total of 12 appearances for the team. During a game in London this weekend this player died after collapsing in the middle of the game. He later died due to cardiac arrest. Jones is actually the second player to die this week from suspected hear problems. A Belgian football player also collapsed an died earlier in the week.
Do you think these guys are pushing to hard?
What can we do to prevent this?

Be sure to hyperlink correctly and you didn't comment to any student replies. That is worth ten points per topic. You also lost 5 points for being late with your posts.
It's football with no pads... yes they are pushing to hard. We can prevent this by sending all of them to the NFL.
It might not be because their coaches are pushing too hard. Maybe the family has a history of heart conditions. It is very unfortunate that he died, since he was only at a young age of 29. In order to prevent this, the players should be tested to see their likeliness of heart failure.
I think they are pushed too hard and doesn't have time to rest and heal. But athletes don't need to be pushing themselves too hard either. Do your workouts off and on, do a hard workout one day and the next day do an easy workout.
I think they are being pushed too hard and probably don't have enough relaxing time to keep themselves healthy. Maybe allow longer or more breaks and drink lots of water.
I think they may be pushing the players too hard, but it could also be a case of the players pushing themselves too hard. Some athletes just don't know when enough is enough. There really isn't a whole lot they can do to prevent this from happening.
I think they are that is dumb that they have to die over something like that. I think people should relax a little bit more on some sports. Some people go to the up most extreams.
It could be because he is being pushed too hard, but he needs to stop when hes had enough. Theres nothing you can really do to prevent this besides just hoping it never happens.
I don't know if it's being pushed to hard, or if these are undetected existing health issues. Maybe organizations should instil more thorough health inspections before allowing someone to compete.
They obviously pushed too hard, because their bodies couldn't handle it and honestly I can't see how any game would be fun when pushing yourself that hard, to the point you die, it would be like torture. To prevent it, players need to realize their limits and take care of themselves. Coaches and staff on the sidelines need to also be aware. There is no way to full y prevent this though, stuff happens.
