ADHD / Neurodivergent Athlete

Movement program adapted for neurodivergent individuals addressing attention management through exercise structure, proprioceptive regulation, fidget-friendly movement breaks, and high-stimulation exercise preferences.

Clinical note: Exercise structure matters more than exercise selection. Short, varied, high-feedback sessions work better than long monotonous programs. Movement breaks during the day support focus regulation. Celebrate consistency over perfection.
