Media mention: Cooper quoted by WSB-TV

Bud Cooper, clinical professor and clinical education coordinator in the Department of Kinesiology, was quoted in a WSB-TV story about technology used by Georgia high schools to protect athletes during extreme heat.

He helped create the heat policy used by the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) for student-athletes, which is growing to include other student activities and organizations.

“We have expanded it to every sport within the GHSA and other what I would call…performing arts, extracurricular activities, so it applies to the band, it applies to cheerleaders,” Cooper said.
