      I did learn from the video, though, that this is actually quite common in highschool sports.

      It is a shocking and scary situation when a young athlete falls to the ground due to a sudden cardiac arrest, but it’s important to remember it’s rare, affecting 2,000 people under the age of 25.

      Check this out:

      Sudden cardiac arrest among young athletes is rare but not unheard of. An examination of NCAA student-athlete sudden deaths between 2004 and 2008 found cardiovascular-related sudden death was the leading cause of death in 45 cases, or about 9 each year, according to a 2011 study.

      It’s not unheard of…

      But I think it is the case we will see this more due to the vaccinations.
