My son was having trouble doing the sprints at the end of practice and now is using his inhaler. He still has to stop in the middle of sprints to do another dose of the inhaler. HOWEVER his COACH yelled at him the other day and told him he was basically faking it...saying to me son "Are you kidding me, it's not even that hot out" and "come on kid, any day now" my son was in tears. NOW the coaches son told my son that "everyone knows you don't have asthma". My son is very upset.
We are just trying to deal with this as it is hard for him, since he has never had this before. NOW we have to deal with the coach and his son bullying my son about it. I don't know what to do. We spoke to the coach after the first incident but I am not sure it is helping.
ANY advice would be very much appreciated!
