Why do we get physicals?

Question

??

i need to get one for a HS team

Answer 1

To make sure your heart doesn't blow up during practice, and you die.

Answer 2

To make sure that you are in good enough health to take part in the activity that you are signing up for.

Answer 3

If you were playing a contact sport where a nose bleed was possible would you want to know if another kid(s) had HIV?

If you were going out for sports for the first time wouldn't you want to know if you had an irregular heart beat?

when my brother was in high school he and his best friend played football.  Their Senior year his friend was getting tired really easy.  they didn't do blood work then. But when they graduated they both signed up for the Marine Corps.  THEN they had complete Physicals, blood work and everything. My brother's best friend had leukemia.  If he had had a Complete Physical before he played his senior year they might have had time for treatment.  He was dead 4 months after he graduated high school.

It's for your own good.  Turn your head and cough.
