Ten-year-old athlete would rather die than not come in first in the wind sprints. That is followed by an asthma attack. He’s under medical care, taking Singulair and Advair, supplemented with albuteral inhalers when needed. Is there anything non-medical we should be doing, such as nutrition, conditioning exercises, breathing exercises (Yoga comes to mind)?

And when he does have an attack–other than get his inhaler to him, how does he/do we handle it? Any calming/breathing techniques?
