How does ADHD actually show up in kids — and what does it mean for youth athletes?
In this episode, Dr. Joey Case, a sports psychologist at Mississippi State, joins Healthy Sports Parents to unpack how ADHD impacts focus, effort, and motivation in sports. He explains what parents and coaches often mistake for laziness or attitude, why ADHD isn’t a character flaw, and how to help kids thrive in practice and competition.
You’ll also learn how parents can work with coaches, when to consider testing, and why some ADHD traits can actually become strengths on the field.
If you’ve ever wondered how to better support your child with ADHD in sports or school, this conversation is a must-listen.
