DrAnqel answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 12:25 am: if you love sports, then you should try your best if your dedicated to it. If you really think that your asthma and bad knee affect your game, then maybe you should stay away from sports for a while, but if i were you i would try to stick with it. hope i helped -dr.anqel [ DrAnqel's advice column | Ask DrAnqel A Question ]

Don't think of athsma and your knee as something to hold you back - thing of them as obstacles to overcome. Use them to motivate you, not bring you down. I bet with a good trainer / physical therapist, and a knowledgeable coach, your knee issues can easily be overcome. And athsma is hopefully something you'll outgrow over time, if not, it is usually not something that ends too many athletic careers. More important than all of that is: If you think you'd have fun on a team, then YES you should try out - do what you love to do! Have fun! [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
