[quote=Anonymous]My child plays on a very competitive travel team that he barely made.  We're new to the team this year.  The last few years, I haven't mentioned his ADHD to his coaches because I thought we had it under control; however, I think he was punished last year for being "aloof" and lacking sport-specific IQ.  I think I want to write a short email to his new coach and just explain that he has ADHD, he takes medication for it, and there might be times this year when he struggles to stay focused in games or practices; however, as parents, we are fully committed to getting him help, including he takes private lessons to work on skill development and he's working with a sports psychologist who is familiar with his ADHD.  His coach last year was really frustrated with him at times, and I'm hoping with a fresh start to do things better.  Has this worked for anyone else?  I do not want to start the year as a problem parent, and my child prefers to hide his ADHD, so this is tricky. [/quote]
