π¨ A teammate suddenly collapses on the pitch and becomes unresponsive. Whatβs the VERY first thing you do? β οΈ
If your answer is "pour cold water on his face," that could be a deadly mistake. π
Pouring water on an unconscious player can cause choking and fluid aspiration into the lungs. In cases of sudden cardiac arrest, the heart has an electrical problem and the ONLY things that can save that playerβs life are:
β Immediate CPR
β An AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
In our newest episode, Dr. Ansong, Dr. Chidi, and Dr. Jaaga break down the exact first-aid protocol every footballer, coach, parent, and sports fan in Ghana should know.
β½ Football can wait. CPR cannot.

A lot of Ghanaian players think they are perfectly safe from doping bans as long as they aren't taking steroids. But did you know that everyday local concoctions, Sobolo, and common pharmacy medicines can contain hidden banned metabolites?
In our newest masterclass, Dr. Chidi, Dr. Ansong, and Dr. Solomon break down how innocent players accidentally fail drug tests and destroy their careers. We also share what it was like witnessing a live doping test at a Ghana vs. Nigeria World Cup qualifier!
