Navy SEAL Whose Lacrosse Workout Left Tufts Players Hospitalized Is Called Unqualified

An incident involving an active-duty Navy SEAL leading a grueling training session for the Tufts University men’s lacrosse team last year has raised concerns about the qualifications of the individual involved. The intense workout session resulted in the hospitalization of nine students, with a total of 24 out of the 61 participants developing rhabdomyolysis, a serious muscle condition.

The review commissioned by Tufts University, which was released on Friday, revealed that the Navy SEAL, who had recently graduated from Tufts and served as an equipment manager for the lacrosse team, did not appear to have the necessary credentials to design, lead, or supervise group exercises. The SEAL did not cooperate with the independent investigators who prepared the report, further raising questions about his qualifications.

The university’s president, Sunil Kumar, and athletics director, John Morris, issued a statement apologizing to the members of the men’s lacrosse team and their families for the inappropriate training session. The review was conducted by sports medicine consultant Rod Walters and lawyer Randy J. Aliment, who specialize in student-athlete safety and health assessments.

During the 75-minute workout, the participants were subjected to a series of repetitions focused primarily on upper extremity muscle groups, including approximately 250 burpees. The workout plan, approved by the university’s director of sports performance, was not shared with other staff members in advance, leading to concerns about the lack of oversight.

The investigators found that the Navy SEAL lacked familiarity with N.C.A.A. policies and regulations and failed to follow proper acclimatization principles to prevent injuries during training. Additionally, the university was criticized for its response to the situation, as there were no established protocols for transporting students to hospitals or directing their care from a medical perspective.

Rhabdomyolysis, the condition experienced by the students, can result from high-intensity workouts like the one conducted by the Navy SEAL. It involves skeletal muscle injuries that release harmful substances into the bloodstream and can be life-threatening if left untreated. Guidelines developed by the N.C.A.A. recommend gradual increases in activity intensity and volume to prevent rhabdomyolysis in college athletes.

While rhabdomyolysis is relatively uncommon, affecting approximately 26,000 people in the United States each year, it can have serious consequences, as demonstrated by past incidents involving sports teams like the University of Iowa football players and a women’s soccer team in Texas. Proper training protocols and oversight are essential to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
