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 got synchronized and the

02:13device gives us advice on whether we need to be more or less, or place our hands to do the

02:20massage cardiac.

02:21In fact, it helps to save lives if, for example, there is someone who makes an arrêt cardiac

02:26before us, to be able to do the first steps of the first secours and then, to be able to

02:30call the pompiers or whatever it is.

02:31In fact, we are going to make two actions parallel.

02:43The first, it's going to be to sense the younger people around the gestures.

02:47So, we have our mannequins, our defibrillators, and we are going to show them how to practice

02:51a cardiac massage of high quality.

02:53And the second thing, we are going to make, through the foundation of Dama Ramlin,

02:58the defibrillators at the sport clubs who are present today.

03:01These defibrillators will be brought to them during their placement and during their training

03:06to protect them.
