SUMMARY
ADHD and sports can be an amazing opportunity for confidence and connection, but they can also bring big emotions, frustration, and a lot of tough parenting decisions. In this listener Q&A episode, we answer your questions about ADHD and sports, including how to support your child when they lose, when quitting might actually be the right choice, and whether to talk to the coach about an ADHD diagnosis. We break down how executive functioning, emotional regulation, and social skills show up on the field, not because kids aren’t trying, but because their brains work differently. If you’re navigating ADHD and sports and want practical tools that protect your child’s confidence and your relationship, this episode is for you.
