ADHD & SPORTS: From Participating to Competing…What Parents Need to Know

Join John Gassner, Manager of Order Out of Chaos' ADHD Athlete Coaching Academy, as he discusses the benefits of playing sports for students with ADHD and Executive Functioning challenges. John will cover a range of topics on how to develop the WHOLE student-athlete, including:

• 'Geeking' out a bit on the “why” – the positive role sports can play in helping your child thrive.
• 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.
• Providing the proper “parent-led” language for you to use to help your student juggle the “Triple S’s” – School, Sports & Social.
