The name reflects the “Cool First, Transport Second” medical standard. In a heat emergency, the athlete must be cooled—ideally in an ice water immersion tub—before being transported to a hospital. We believe every athlete should have access to life-saving cooling resources.

Our unwavering mission is to eradicate heat-related deaths among student-athletes in all sports. We provide evidence-based training and protocols to help coaches, trainers, and staff detect the early stages of heat illness and intervene effectively.

Yes!  The deadline to apply for 2026 Scholarships is April 30, 2026.

The “Golden Hour” refers to the critical 60-minute window following the onset of heatstroke. If an athlete’s core body temperature is lowered to below 102°F within 30 minutes of collapse, the survival rate is nearly 100%.

Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a comprehensive measure of heat stress that accounts for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. Unlike a standard thermometer, WBGT tells you how the environment actually feels to an athlete in full gear.

Yes. Exertional Heatstroke (EHS) is 100% preventable and 100% survivable when proper acclimatization, monitoring (WBGT), and rapid cooling protocols are in place.

Yes. We offer CLE (Continuing Legal Education) for administrators and CEU (Continuing Education Units) for athletic professionals. Our 2026 courses are updated with the latest NCAA and NCCSIR safety standards.

In addition to our training protocols, we recommend and provide information on essential intervention products, including Cold Water Immersion (CWI) tubs and rectal thermometry kits.

Our courses are designed for Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Athletic Directors, and Athletic Trainers at both the High School and Collegiate levels. We also offer specialized tracks for parents and community league volunteers.

A heat-safe school should have a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP), a designated heat monitor using a WBGT device, and a Cold Water Immersion tub on the sidelines during every practice in the heat.

Look for signs of Central Nervous System (CNS) dysfunction, such as confusion, irritability, or loss of coordination. If symptoms are present, move them to a cool area and begin rapid cooling immediately while calling 911.

We offer both virtual and on-site training sessions. Please contact our support team at Support@iceathletes.com to discuss scheduling a dedicated workshop for your school or athletic association.
