The way that his body was able to manage this crazy hot practice was probably by drinking plenty of fluids to keep him hydrated. Also he probably ate a good nutritious meal before the practice so that his body could function properly. Also he probably put sunscreen on before the practice so that he didn’t get sunburned. One other thing that he would have to do before and after to make sure that he didn’t suffer a pulled or torn muscle would be to stretch. The way that his body was able to deal with the extreme heat was by sweating which is the body natural way of cooling itself down. Since the practice lasts over a few hours the player would probably have to drink a sports drink to maintain his carbohydrates throughout the practice also.
