    Neurodivergence is a superpower - Remi Kamo

    In this episode of Educate to Elevate, we’re diving into the world of neurodivergence with educational and developmental psychologist, Remi. Neurodivergence – including ADHD, autism, and other cognitive differences – is becoming more widely recognized in young athletes, but why does it seem more common now than it did 20 years ago? Are we better at identifying it, or have the pressures of modern sport made these traits more visible? Remi breaks down the challenges neurodivergent people face – from commitment and structure to focus and timing – and shares practical advice for coaches and parents on how to create more inclusive and supportive sporting environments. If you're a parent, coach, or athlete looking to better understand how to unlock the potential of neurodivergent athletes, this is the episode for you.
