Yes: you probably have Exercise-induced Asthma, common among athletes. If your doctor agrees, take 2 puffs of a bronchodilator inhaler 20 minutes prior to engaging in the sport.

Why not see your doc: About this. It's very possible that you have exercise induced asthma and may need to utilize an albuterol inhaler prior to exercising.
