Hyperventilate

So today one of the girls in practice hyperventilated...it was a little scary to say the least.  Her arm was ceasing and we all thought she was having a seizure, luckily it was just hyperventilation.  This happened right after we were doing a coach on one drill- where you had to get to 10 touches in a row in order to complete the drill.  To say the least it was tough!!!  Mari- our libero who I think is amazing was able to complete the drill, but shortly afterwards she collapsed and began ceasing.  It was a flexday at school, which meant trainers, faculty, and staff were all in a meeting.  So NO ONE was around to help this poor girl.  Finally we had security on the scene and help was received.  I give props to VANESSA who ran her little heart out to who knows where (somewhere on campus) to find Patty our trainer!!!  What a team player! go CAPTAIN!!! When she came back to the gym it looked as if she had just completed a marathon. lol.  Its funny now only because Mari is ok.  It makes you think about the risks involved in playing sports!!! life's short enough already.
