Rugby Player Ryan Graham (31) has died on the pitch during a training this weekend. It was. Graham was at his local rugby club when he collapsed. The man, father of two, was taken to hospital, after friends tried to rescue him, but died. A post mortem is yet to come. Trevor Lloyd, secretary of the rugby club, said: “He was a very dedicated, very popular and very experienced player who played his rugby with a lot of spirit and a lot of fun." In March a school boy(16) collapsed during a soccer game and a year ago a rugby captain(18) died from hart failure on the pitch.
Lately you hear a lot of more of these tragic cases. Last week a saw a documentary about a professional soccer player; he had some issues with his heart but he ignored it because he wanted to play soccer so bad. In this case the doctors think it is a heart attack, this does not have to mean that he could have prevented it. I do think professional athletes sometimes find their sport and achievements are more important than their health. Sometimes your body cannot handle all the training and when your body tells you to stop, you should.

I think your reaction could not be better. I also do think that there are a lot of professional athletes who do not htink about their own health, but only about their reputation as a great soccer of football player.
