  Michael Phelps wasn’t just born to swim—he was born to defy expectations. Diagnosed with ADHD at age 9, Phelps struggled with focus and impulsivity in school. But in the pool, his restless energy found purpose. Swimming became his sanctuary, offering structure, repetition, and a physical outlet that helped him manage his symptoms. His mother, Debbie Phelps, played a pivotal role—advocating for him, supporting his decision to stop medication at 13, and helping him build routines that worked.

His hyperfocus, stamina, and drive helped him win 23 Olympic gold medals, making him the most decorated Olympian in history. post inspired by  Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain  by Kristin Wilcox and Andrew Wilcox Book description: In this two-part book Andrew and his neuroscientist mom each tell their story abou...
