Asthma
Shortly after the winning three Gold medals at the 1984 Games, doctors diagnosed Hogshead with asthma. She learned how to keep asthma from interfering with her life and later became a national spokesperson for the American Lung Association. The gold medal swimmer went on to write Asthma and Exercise, a book of inspirational stories from over 30 world class athletes who learned the secrets of asthma management to reach the highest levels of achievement.
