I’m having the same issue with an athlete-they’re even supplementing with electrolytes during runs and still getting headaches and sickness after runs. Have you found any solutions?

Hello! Looking for some advice for a client. I’m based out of AZ and have someone who trains in the heat (running) and is suffering from headaches and gets sick every time after exercising in the heat. Consuming 800 mg sodium during runs. Is not a heavy sweater but a salty sweater. Thoughts on the sickness afterwards? Over or under hydrated? Not enough sodium in the electrolyte beverage?

Super excited to be here at NATA 2025!

Thank you Eric and Gatorade for providing product but maybe more importantly the science and technology behind the product to show why each piece works the way it does. As we all know providing hydration and products based on the needs at a secondary schools is challenging especially with a sport like football. I commend the opportunity to buy the Gatorade packages as it's a good start for any sized schools. When we talk hydration especially to start football do you see any specific product to help all sports and all athletes that is cost effective? Mark Husen, LAT, ATC Green Bay, WI
