About this listen
In part two of our conversation with performance coach and mental skills strategist Nick Davenport, we dive into the raw realities of living with undiagnosed ADHD and how neurodivergence manifests far beyond distraction. Nick opens up about his own mental health journey, from academic struggles to building systems of mental and physical performance that helped him thrive—without ever relying on medication. From rejection sensitivity and impulse control to the overlooked gender differences in diagnosis, this episode peels back layers most conversations skip.
We explore how movement, environment, and trial-and-error play pivotal roles in optimizing brain function, especially in youth. Nick breaks down the science behind BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), how evolutionary mismatch may be driving the mental health epidemic, and why therapy alone isn’t always the solution. Whether you’re managing your own attention challenges or guiding someone else through theirs, this episode is packed with insight, strategy, and hard-won truth.
