"It's like someone stepping on your chest," said Jud Roberts, now a New Albany High School senior, who has lived with asthma since he was little.
But asthma hasn't kept Roberts out of school or sports. He's an offensive guard on the football team and is preparing to head to college with the ambition of becoming a pediatrician.
Knowledge of asthma management is the best tool for keeping kids like Roberts in the game and in school.
"We don't want kids to be held back from anything they can do," said New Albany school health coordinator Tammie Reader.
With asthma, the airways inside the lungs stay inflamed and extra sensitive. Cold weather, chemicals, dust, smoke, pet dander and other allergens can trigger an attack where the airways become even narrower making it difficult to breathe.
Controlling the chronic lung condition is a team sport, especially for children. Parents, teachers and other adults around them need to know not just the emergency measures, but prevention.
