“DVT happens in high-end cyclists in part due to dehydration, not so much in high-school football players.”
Dehydration is very common with high school players. Every year you hear of the deaths.
Healthcare providers may delay or miss blood clot diagnoses, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), among athletes who exhibit classic symptoms.

Athletes and blood clots
“Despite being predominately young and healthy, athletes may be at increased risk for DVTs,” says John Moriarty, MD, FSIR, director of PE Response Team and of the IVC Filter Clinic, UCLA Interventional Radiology.
Some reasons athletes are at risk for blood clots include:
Spending a lot of time seated and immobile while traveling long distances in a car or plane to and from sporting events
Experiencing dehydration due to strenuous activity
Having a higher likelihood of experiencing a trauma such as a broken bone
-———EVEN AT A YOUNG AGE—————
But, the frequency of DVT is quite high among athletes and professional sport players. In general, DVT risk is 85% greater among athletes when compared to normal population due to the specific risk factors of sports. DVT and PE may be seen in athletes actively taking part in sportive activities, traveling, exposing to sportive trauma, or undergoing surgery for any reason, even at a relatively young age.

Interestingly, endurance athletes are exposed to many of the physical factors contributing to DVT, experiencing repetitive microtrauma, endothelial damage, and dehydration/hemoconcentration during competition, followed by periods of inactivity, immobility, and stasis while traveling to and from and/or recovering from the athletic event.
