It is quite surprising as the number of cardiac arrests on the pitch has drastically increased after the COVID pandemic. Just months ago, a young NCAA star tragically passed away due to the same reason. Even though he wasn’t a professional star like Christian Eriksen, it was still quite a sad moment for everyone in the fanbase.

But a recent news story has quite literally dropped several jaws in utter shock.

A 12-year-old girl in Arizona recently shockingly suffered a cardiac arrest during practice. Let’s dive deeper into this story.

A 12-year-old soccer player collapses on the soccer pitch

The incident occurred on April 27. Pyper Midkiff was experiencing a normal day at soccer practice in Arizona. However, her fortunes drastically changed after she suddenly collapsed during a training session. Whilst in conversation with Fox10, the girl’s father said, “One of those things that’s never going to happen to you right?”.

“I mean, a healthy 12-year-old, a healthy 12-year-old with no symptoms with parents that are fit and healthy. I’ve coached for 28 years. I’ve never seen anything happen like this. I’m a physical therapist and I thought the worst case would be a broken leg”. Her father was also thankful to the soccer world for sending Pyper messages of support on social media.
