My 12yo is doing football for the first time this year. He hasn't done much in the way of organized sports and he's a bit on the smallish side. He has a touch of asthma (hasn't been much of a problem) but doing drills this summer has caused a few flareups. He's had 2 instances in the past month where he's asked one of the assistants to let him get an inhaler. The first time was a few weeks ago and the assistant gave him the "walk it off" routine. I sent an email to the head coach politely explaining that he gets his inhaler no matter what and that I'd talk to my boy about making sure he doesn't use it as a crutch when drills get hard. Coach agreed to make sure it didn't happen again.
Well it happened again yesterday ..apparently the assistant coach had asthma as a kid and told my boy that he'd know if he really needed the inhaler or not Guess who is going to practice today

Throat punch will simulate the need for the inhaler. Apply appropriately.
Inform the dumb Ass. that: •Asthma causes almost 2 million emergency room visits each year •Each day, ten Americans die from asthma, and and in 2014, 3,651 people died from asthma. Many of these deaths are avoidable with proper treatment and care |

In my experience, pee wee football coaches are some of the most dedicated douchebags this country can produce.
Yes, some are not, but the ones that are give the other 1% a bad name. |

Don't waste your time going to the practice, go to the school board and let the shit flow down hill.
You will likely end up at the school board anyway, might as well save yourself some time. |

That guy's judgement is askew. He has no business being charged with kid's welfare. I'd demand his removal from anything involving that team and your kiddo.

Giving the head coach notice that "your numbnuts assistant coach fucked up, and if my boy dies then it's on you because you've been put on notice TWICE" should be enough to fix the problem. I'd give head coach one last chance to fix his shit before running to the school board. |

Make sure and tell your kid to ignore him next time. What's he going to do, physically stop him?

Coaches shouldn't be in charge of anything medical-related. |

Is you kid kinda (sorry) softish? Would he want his inhaler as a means to get out of practice activities or when he gets tired and wants to stop?
In high school we had a couple first timers who were like this. Coach had to talk with them on the side of the field multiple times to get them back into the spirit of things. Some kids just don't have the drive and start coming up with excuses. Not that this is your kid, but some coaches get tired of excuses, especially in football. ETA: My bad, didn't read the 12 yr old part for some reason. |

What kind of dumb ass pulls that crap in this day and age? I mean I think we are way overboard when it comes to overblown lawsuits, etc. But messing with a kid that is in respiratory distress? That's just asking for it. My 8 year old has asthma, but he goes and goes. If he's asking for it, he needs it. End of story. My wife had a chat with his old day care because one of the aids did the same thing. Wouldn't let him go inside during recess. It only happened once.
That coach needs a throat punch. |

i have sports induced asthma, and I'd tell that ahole to fuck off. I'd also tell him that it's clinical, doctor ordered, and if he gets hurt cause the coach denied him an inhaler I'd kill him out of spite.
don't put up with that. Tell that asshole he's not your kids doctor and he's not bear bryant. His job is to protect your kid and teach him how to be a football player, not be his doctor. what a dick. I swear, there are so many wannabe assholes at the junior levels of sport, it's almost not worth it anymore. |

I quit HS football two weeks in when the coaches were treating us more like privates than like players. I wonder how many kids give up on sports because the adults simply suck all the fun out of it. |

A few of the kids I coach occasionally need an inhaler.
We do lots of laps and sprints. Some kids push themselves too far, and then need it. Other kids always seem to need it when things get hard. No one ever needs it when we're doing a really fun drill. For some of them, it's a timeout and a crutch. |
