00:30I've been able to, you know, make so much impact to the point where, you know, we're
00:39over here in Paris, teaching kids CPR, teaching them how to save a life, teaching them what
00:44an AED is and how to use it whenever the time is needed.
00:47I think that's so important.
00:49What I experienced, sudden cardiac arrest is the number one cause of death in youth
00:53sports.
00:54So, you know, doing things that I'm doing, getting these kids out here who want to chase
00:59their dreams and, you know, grow up to be a person like me.
01:03To be able to teach them CPR, how to use an AED is so essential to their lives and to be
01:08prepared whenever you don't know is what we're doing today.
01:23This day, this is amazing to have DeMar Hamlin come out and explain the importance of
01:29safety of, you know, CPR and AED and the importance of it to players, athletes, youth, adults.
01:37It's, you know, it keeps us safe on the field and it's important for anyone of any age to
01:42learn about American football.
01:44It allows, you know, we have youth players, our players here that they're familiar with
01:48DeMar and having him kind of speak up about it, you know, emphasizes the importance of player
01:53safety to them, to our coaches, and to our players.
01:57In fact, it was easy because, with the help of the metronome, we were able to synchronize.
02:13And the device gives us advice on whether we need to push more or less, or place our
02:20hands to do the cardiac massage.
02:22In fact, it helps to save lives if, for example, there is someone who makes an arrêt cardiaque
02:26before us, to be able to do the first steps of the first secours and then to be able to call
02:30the pompiers or whatever it is.
02:31So, we're going to make two actions parallel.
02:44The first one, it's going to be to sensibility the younger people around the gestures.
02:48So, we have our mannequins, our defibrillators, and we're going to show them how to practice
02:52a cardiac massage of high quality.
02:54And the second one, we're going to make, through the foundation of Dama Ramlin, the defibrillators
02:59of the sports clubs who are present today, these defibrillators, they will be able to take
03:04them during their placement and during their training, to protect them.
03:07Okay.
