Athletes with ADHD
This is a campaign that covers the topic of how ADHD isn’t something that hinders your abilities, but you can use it to your advantage. This is showcased by telling the stories of three extraordinary athletes, Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and Simone Biles, who all have ADHD, but have accomplished so much in their careers. Since this is an inspirational campaign, I want to let others know that ADHD isn’t a disability but a trait that can help them achieve anything they put their minds to.
This campaign is in partnership with CHADD, Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, to bring awareness to ADHD and show that if your brain is wired differently doesn’t mean you can not achieve great things. People with ADHD often get labeled as “not smart enough,” “too rowdy for class,” or “unmotivated,” which stigmatizes the disorder even more than it already is. With the right support, individuals with ADHD can go on and accomplish anything like Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, or Simone Biles who got gold medals, championships, and the GOATS of their sports.
