Athletes with sickle cell anemia

Just curious,

I have researched the basics about the disease. I have an athlete that has good potential but can rarely handle a full week of moderate intensity work (ie half the pure speed workouts, 1 day rest, tolerates a easy tempo day(usually on bike or in pool) then can barely finish a speed endurance day.) The problem isn’t fatigue during the workouts its more of a joint pain issue.

Any hints or thoughts on this, anything would help.

What are the blood values?
