Ex-Green Beret says he left ASU workout just before player collapse | Exclusive
An ex-Green Beret who led an outdoor ASU hockey workout says he left before a player collapsed. The player, Matthew Mayich, remains in a coma.
Tim Ziesel, an ex-Green Beret, led an outdoor military-style workout at Arizona State University (ASU) before hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed on August 20. Ziesel left the workout about 20 minutes before Mayich suffered an apparent cardiac event, according to his lawyer Buddy Rake. The workout, which included sprints, push-ups, and other exercises, was part of a three-day team-building routine.
Ziesel, who trained other college athletes on character, meekness, and integrity, is devastated by the incident and wants a thorough and objective investigation. ASU officials have declined to comment on the workout routine and Ziesel's role in it, stating they are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the event.
