So yeah,

I am really into basketball and I love it. I am new to the sport and I want to get better at it quickly. Every single pratice I work really hard and so during the games.

But here comes the deal; I warn you this might sound superficial but this is how I feel. I know I shouldnt be worried about what I look like or whatever because it's sport, but I feel so self-conscious about my face turning BEET RED after 15 minutes of the game. Every other people have sweaty, yet normal color faces around me.

I have been doing some research on the Internet and I heard that there is no specific treatment for this. I am fair-skinned and I usually love my pale looking skin but seriously...everytime I play a sport I look so damn red and I feel very ackward. Even if I make a goal I still feel self-consicous as people are looking at me. I find it hard being a girl and looking this silly...I wish I could look like the other girls around me: sweaty but with a WHITE face. lol

Any advice on how to overcome this?...do you think it is normal to care that much about this?
I think you may want to look good even when working this hard...

    Are you properly hydrated before, during and after the game?

    Yes! I get like that, too! I'm very shy doing stuff, especially in public. Um... Just try not to think about it; only focus on you're game.

    I can't play sports that much anymore because either my finger or wrist would become sprained every time. So, I forgot how it's like to do this. Sorry! I tried to give my best info.
