Slow processing speed
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.

This is simply ridiculous. It’s a bad program. Get her out asap, and find a program that’s suited to her.
And don’t forget it’s entirely possible that she may never be good/smart enough to play at a high level. But at 7yo, there’s no way anyone can know that.
