In this article, two time senior state wrestling champion, Kevin Hardy, describes how he overcame ADHD on the wrestling mat. Kevin’s assistant coach reports “The sport has done wonders for him … setting goals, learning how to work hard, making friends,” Thompson said. “It’s been huge for him.” Read Kevin’s story of how sports and exercise help people with ADHD learn to concentrate and stay in the moment. http://www.columbusdispatch.com/prep/preps.php?hstory=dispatch/2007/03/03/20070303-E1-00.html
