[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meds can be tricky with sports but if you find them necessary, it is worth trying several different kinds until you find what works for your child. I think it’s important to be upfront with the coach and help educate them on behaviors that may be seen as unmotivated or not being receptive to listening. Sometimes coaches are quick to judgements and it can be very hard to change their opinions once they have labeled your child. [/quote]

This is the OP, and I would say I am seeing this little bit already...thanks for mentioning it. We are on a competitive team and and my kid defiantly has a difficult time following instructions to complete new drills. I am sure in the Coaches mind, she has a few strikes against my daughter as her Coach does not have a ton of experience with U11-U9 kids.  She just kind of ignores my kid now instead of giving her extra coaching.  It's frustrating, I defiantly thin she might think my kid is not receptive to listening.  We would like to move up to the 1st team in year or two when rosters expand at u13, but we have a lot to work on.  I am pretty sure my kid is labeled already.   Our coach is a little stoic and I'm not sure anything we mention will sink in, but we'll bring it up with a diagnosis.

We talk about the importance of staying focused in school (with our kid) and when the Coach is talking quite a lot.  My kid knows it's important, but can't quite seem to be able to do it with the ease that other kids can. We're waiting on the 1st QTR report card now and to see if this year's teacher says her inability to focus is affecting her grades.  With that, we'll consult a professional to check for an assessment and what is a good path forward. [/quote]
