Presenting a landscape of different sports (team vs individual, open vs closed skills) and diving into which ones benefit kids with ADHD.
Focusing on the transition kids make from simply playing sports to becoming a competitive athlete, and how to manage it all as a student with ADHD.
Sharing Order Out of Chaos's top tools, strategies, and techniques they’ve developed coaching hundreds of high school and college student-athletes to help them develop strong executive functioning skills.
