People with albinism: Do you have any struggles playing sports?

Hi, I'm a writer and I'm currently writing a novel whose protagonist has albinism. It depends of the type of albinism, but I know most of you have visual struggles, like nystagmus, photophobia, astigmatism, etc; some of you even being legally blind or visually impaired. I know these difficulties may cause many daily struggles, including sports.

So, if you or someone you know has albinism, it would be really helpful to answer these questions: Have you ever played any sport and how did it feel like? Do you have any struggles playing sports? If vision is your main struggle, how would you describe it or how exactly does it affect you during the game?

Thanks a lot :)

P.S.: English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes.
