Marvellous news … Given the astronomical wealth of fame and fortune heaped upon modern sportsmen and women today , we sometimes loose sight that these are also merely young folk running around a sports field in the bloom of health entertaining us , the spectating masses, and yet that might alter tragically for the unlucky few in the blink of an eye.

Happy to hear this young man is getting better and hopefully up and running again in no time. Many others haven´t been that lucky, may they all rest in peace and light.
Hope the media finally starts asking the right questions

This cardiac incident is actually well documented. As a Little League coach for my son's team, had to watch a video on spotting the signs of cardiac arrest due to being hit in the chest by a ball.
