Can it be something serious?

I'm in volleyball and we do alot of running. So when we have to do sprinting in a quick amount of time i have trouble regaining my breathing for about a minute. I try to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth but i just find myself gasping for air. I also make like a whistling sound and my throat constricts when I'm inhaling. I did volleyball last year and i didnt have this problem. Could me having chronic bronchitis as a toddler be a cause.
