It would depend on the words. Not all Tourette's sufferers use foul language. I would definitely need to see a letter. And I'd hope the coach would talk to me about it well ahead of time, and I'd have a talk with the opposing coach, so that he'd be up to speed, too.

Also, the nervous movements could be a problem. I'm not sure, if there was contact that gave an advantage, that I could just ignore it. have to think about that one.

PS Have you read "Captain Newman, MD"?
