ADHD Struggles within Sport

Here are some of the struggles individuals face within sports:

  • Recklessness – getting sent off/putting it all on the line.
  • Getting bored – repetitive actions may be hard for them.
  • Frustration – getting angry at themselves/falling out with others.
  • Impatient – may want to attack if playing defensive.
  • Sometimes seen as arrogant – may be confident in their abilities.
  • Rash decisions and anger issues – may try the improbable/overstep the line.
