Too late to be talking hydrate on a Thursday afternoon according to Willie. You’re going to die.

quote:
Willie Taggart, that would be me: ‘After going through last week and seeing our guys going down, cramping and things, one thing we all talked about as a staff, our medical staff, is our guys got to hydrate. That it can’t be on Friday, that it can’t be on Thursday.’ Hold up [sips water]. ‘We need to start hydrating earlier in the week, taking care of their bodies. Can’t leave it up to our players just to do it. We’ve all got to force them to hydrate, take care of themselves. Again, I don’t know if we did a good job of that last week. It’s one of those situations where you live and learn, and we’re going to help our guys when it comes to that.’

In basic training we would have these hour long sessions for classes, sometimes many of them in a row.

They would make us drink an entire canteen of water in that hour. The worse part is you couldn't take a leak until after the hour was up.

Any other time it was no problem getting people to drink water, you always wanted it.
