ADHD doesn’t just affect focus it can also influence how people train, recover, and experience injuries.
Athletes with ADHD may be more likely to push through pain, increase training intensity quickly, or struggle with the consistency required for injury rehab.
Over time, this can increase the risk of overuse injuries and recurring pain.
But ADHD can also bring huge strengths to sport, including energy, determination, and the ability to hyperfocus on goals.
The key is learning how to balance training intensity with recovery and injury management so your body can keep up with your drive.
