Wet Bulb Globe Temperature is the standard for protecting from heat illness which is 100% preventable in athletics. Tom Woods discusses where we are as a state in adopting it.

What changes would you make to protocols in Texas?


WBGT takes in several more important factors than Heat Index


Don’t forget about band, dance, cheer in your WBGT needs


What is the next major tech advancement you would like to see?


Switching to WBGT and becoming a mandate rather than a recommendation.
