ADHD Weekly -- What’s Up with Athletes and ADHD?

It's interesting to see how many athletes also have an ADHD diagnosis. Is there something about ADHD that draws a person into sports? Is there something about ADHD that helps athletes to rise to the top in their sport?

Researchers are asking these questions. Read more at "What’s Up with Athletes and ADHD?" at bit.ly/nrcathletes for what they are learning about the possible connections between sports and ADHD.

Is your child an athlete? How have sports helped her to be successful?

Once an adhd is in the zone good luck to the opponent! It is ADHD magic. I can do a lot of things by “flow” and “zone”. It’s one of the gifts!

My son was terrible at team sports. He only excelled at individual ones like karate.
