LIFE

Dear Carol, 

I love team sports and I'm good at them. But, right now, so many things are on hold. When school starts, will I be able to play again? My BFF is into theater and we're both freaking out.

Dear Athlete, 

We're all a little jumpy. As I'm writing this column, no one knows when we can finally put down our guard. Of course, we all want to get together again and do what we're good at-and I don't blame you for feeling impatient. Athletes want to play sports and spectators want to cheer, just as actors want to act and audiences want to watch. But as you know, we also want to avoid getting sick and putting other people in harm's way. For now, work on your drills at home, ask your coach for an at-home workout routine or try a new-to-you online workout like pilates or dance or kickboxing. Keep your body active. You'll play sports again, and I hope your school will get an all-clear soon.
