[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's pause. So your child has ADHD and needs special attention from the coach? [quote=Anonymous]We found that ADHD issues kept our child from living up to their full potential in their sport. Kid was focused on the field but less attentive when on the bench or listening to the coach. In general, coaches don’t care about accommodating. [/quote][/quote] DP with an older kid. We got coaching outside of team practice (skills coach, trainer, someone to review game footage). We found appealing to the team coach regarding DC’s ADHD most often backfired. DC learned one one-on-one and tried to keep it together at team practices. I'm guessing this all ends with DC playing the sport recreationally and possibly running track/XC by the end of high school and into college. Great athlete, but the challenges are real. [/quote]
