Organizations
One teaches it.
One makes sure
nobody misses it.
The Council runs two operations with opposite temperaments — a quiet, precise certification program and a loud national campaign — because a standard that nobody has heard of protects nobody.
Ice Athletes
Stay Cool. Stay in the Game.
The Council's training arm, and the place its standards are examined and credentialed. Its flagship course is the cooling certification for exertional heat illness — six modules, about two hours, medically reviewed, carrying credit that governing bodies recognize.
What it covers
- Heat physiology and why core temperature is the only number that matters
- Environmental monitoring with WBGT rather than the air temperature on a phone
- Reading central nervous system change on a chaotic sideline
- Cold water immersion technique, done right, with what is actually on hand
- Building an Emergency Action Plan the staff has rehearsed
- A full walkthrough of the first thirty minutes
What you get
- Printable certificate with a validation code
- Emergency Action Plan template
- WBGT quick-reference chart
- Staff dashboard for group and district purchases
