Q: I accidentally left my glove out in the rain the other night, and it's still not dry. It's been about 4 days. Any tips or tricks? Or is my glove doomed?

It's going to dry eventually. It's all leather, most likely, and it takes time. Leave it out in the sun, and makes sure it doesn't get wet again (obviously). Oil it as if you were breaking it in again afterwards, and do the rubberband/softball wrap. That should get it back into shape.

Q: i am not very athletic. I hate running, and i'm not particulary competitive. I dont like being responsible for things on a team because i'm always scared i'll let the team down.Also i hate practices where you have to do sprints and drills esp. since i'm not a fast runner. I take dance and i play a little tennis but i'm not particularly good at eaither. What would be a good sport for me to play?

Raquetball. Trust me. It's not as technical as tennis (not even close) and if you teach a friend the rules (there are about two, all together) you can have a blast.

Q: i have no idea if people have asked this before or what, but even if they did, please try to answer? its somewhat long; i apologize ahead of time.
ok, so i'm pretty much an athletic person. I play almost any sports and play on two teams at school. However, even though im not that bad with sports and i totally love playing, i have a horrible issue with running/conditioning. Like, i can run short distances really fast, but i cant run for very long. I can run longer if i have breaks inbetween too. but if i run consistently without stopping, my legs start to burn and i cant breathe.
I cant stand miles because afterwards i end up not being able to breathe for a while. Like for one practice we ended up running a lot of laps and by the end i couldnt really breathe properly for ten-twenty minutes. Is there a way to like... help me run better? Or not get as tired by the end/able to breathe normally? During games and stuff i almost never get tired. Its only during long conditionings and whatnot.
please help!! i have training all summer and i rather not die from lack of oxygen anytime soon. i'll rate high for helpful tips.

Breathing helps.
As bizarre and obvious as it sounds, if you can increase your lung capacity and lung strength, your endurance will increase as well, because oxygen will be used more efficiently in the body.
Getting started? Sit cross legged with your back straight, place you hands on your stomach and relax. When you breath in, expand as much as possible and fill your lungs all the way. When you breath out, imagine you are trying to touch your belly button to your spine, and release all of the air. Do this deeply and slowly. After a while, reverse the process- pull in when you inhale, push out when you exhale. You can begin counting the length of inhaling and exhaling, and always strive to make it as long as possible.
Hope it helps!

Yeah, baby powder is the way to go. Baseball players have been dumping it into their jocks for years.
