After NFL coaching health scares, Aram talks to High School Football coaches about health risks

“I’ve had to have the doctor come over and check me. Not this year, but in the past, I’ve had that happen on the sideline. I can remember two or three of them. Let’s just say I know what (Kubiak) was going through. It’s an occupational hazard. Stress and sometimes you’re not as hydrated as you should be. And you don’t eat right. It wears and tears on you.” Charter Oak football coach Lou Farrar
