More than likely, these 2 men over-exerted themselves to make a first good impression. They probably pushed themselves to a limit where they appeared exhausted and symptoms showed up after they left workouts. These coaches and trainers are well versed and if they had ANY inkling of what was happening, I am sure they would have stepped in. 1 case is too many. Probably a scenario where the coaches are now doing a better job of communicating to athletes to push themselves, yes, but to also take proper precautions moving forward.
It is like a concussion. As a coach, I can't fix what I don't know. If an athlete takes a shot that isn't obviously forceful, yet begin feeling the symptoms of a concussion, I can't take the proper measures. The athletes need to be encouraged to be able to come to coaches about medical conditions without feeling as if they are being "weak". On the flip side, in some cases the symptoms have delayed onset.
This is a bad situation and I hope and pray that these two guys recover fully and are able to live like nothing happened. I am not sure people need to be quick at pointing fingers.

The thing here is that the idea that these guys could get even remotely *close* to rhabdo suggests that the programming is inappropriate. How many players did not technically have rhabdo, but were close?
These kids are hand picked athletes, so as usual their natural ability will cover up the BS that is prescribed to them.
Sure, I get it when some CrossFit hero at your local box gets rhabdo because his dime store coach doesn't know what he's doing. But we pay these guys a TON of money. We should expect better and so should their parents.

Isn't this also on the fault of the previous staff?
If riley and co had these guys in the shape they were supposed to be in what is the chance of something like this happening especially this soon into wirk outs?

They also didn't get any bowl practices, so some of these players were likely more out of shape than they would have been normally. Yes, they can say they worked out on their own, but it's not the same as pushing each other as a team doing workouts together.
