Speaker 1: Bellmont Middle School's basketball team was playing Waltham's JFK Middle

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: School last Thursday, when three minutes into the game, Waltham's

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: coach fell face down.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: He wasn't breathing and he had no pulse, so I

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: initiated the emergency response.

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: That's Belmont coach Ian Haffer. He quickly jumped into action

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: seeing that coach Ronnie was having a medical emergency, and

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Hafer knew just what to do, checking for a pulse

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: before starting CPR, because he's not just a coach, he's

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: also a doctor.

11
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: People from Waltham were able to help. Someone ran and

12
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: got the ad, turned it on, knew how to attach

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: the pads. While I was doing CPR.

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: He was able to help Coach Ronnie regain consciousness before

15
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: first responders took him to the hospital.

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: The big thing was making sure that my players were okay,

17
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: and obviously the coach was okay, and then trying to

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: be a coach and a medical professional at the same time.

19
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: He says, Coach Ronnie is okay and recovering in Medford.
