About this listen

In this episode of ExpandAbilities MEETS, Alex and Rob tackle an important and often misunderstood topic in sports: ADHD in athletes. From youth leagues to college competition, many players navigate attention challenges, impulsivity, and overstimulation — all while trying to perform at a high level.

This conversation explores how ADHD can impact focus, communication, emotional regulation, and consistency on the field — but also how it can be a competitive strength when properly understood and supported. We discuss real-life strategies for athletes, coaches, and parents, including ways to improve focus, structure routines, manage game-day distractions, and build confidence without shame or labels.

Our goal is not just awareness — it’s empowerment. Because when athletes with ADHD are given the right environment, they don’t just survive in sports… they thrive.

ExpandAbilities MEETS — helping athletes understand their minds as much as their bodies.
