Coaches Care « ALA-MS

Coaches Care

Coaches Care is an asthma program to educate Mississippi coaches and others who supervise athletic activities on asthma symptoms in their student athletes. The program educates coaches on the dangers of asthma and helps athletes reach their athletic potential without endangering their health. Qualified asthma and allergy medical professionals present a program to attendees that alert them of warning signs and how an asthma attack presents itself during physical activity.

Coaches come to terms with these facts:

Mississippi children experience a higher rate of asthma than children in other states.
Asthma is the #1 reason children miss school, which affects their ability to perform both scholastically and athletically.
Undiagnosed asthma on an athletic field can be life threatening.
