Michael Phelps: Channeling ADHD into Olympic Gold

Image
  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.
