In this episode, we sit down with Allison Solomon, ADHD parenting coach, educator, and founder of ADHD Parenting Boot Camp. As a mom of three boys with ADHD—and someone with ADHD herself—Allison brings both personal experience and professional expertise to the conversation.

We talk about raising ADHD athletes, performance anxiety, perfectionism, inconsistent performance, and helping kids build self-advocacy and a stronger mental game. Allison also shares what she wishes she had done differently while raising a talented athlete—and why your child’s sport should be something they do, not who they are.
