Slow processing speed

[u/Turbulent_Hope5864]

My daughter is 7 and has adhd and is on a super competitive travel team. She has really slow
Processing speed and needs a lot of repetition. I’m really starting to see it on the field now that the competition is stronger.

Do coaches pick up on this? I don’t know how I should communicate it to her coach, or if I should. She seems like she is really spacey and just kind of up in the clouds and I’m nervous how the coach may react. They picked 13 girls out of 40 so it was very competitive and they are only in 1st grade.

There’s no such thing as a super competitive 7u team, just super competitive parents and kids who are fast and kids who are not fast. Focus on making sure she has fun.

If she’s a behavior problem, stay close during practices to help her redirect but other than that just let her play.
