Programs For Coaches
“Winning With Asthma” – Coach’s Asthma Clipboard Program
Did you know that on an average team of 10, you can expect at least one player to have asthma? Every year thousands of youth athletes suffer with asthma while participating in athletic events, and you, as a coach, referee or physical education teacher can help.
The program was created to help those involved in youth sports learn more about asthma, how it affects a student athlete’s ability to compete, and how to help manage an athlete’s symptoms.
The “Winning with Asthma” program was created by a collaborative effort between the Utah Department of Health Asthma Program, Minnesota Department of Health Asthma Program, and the Minnesota STEPS Initiative and funded by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
