S3 - E2 - Untangling ADHD and athletes: From dopamine chasing and setbacks to coming back stronger than ever before, with Muay Thai World Champion, Liam Harrison

Meet the man who has achieved 8 world titles and boasts a record of  91 wins and 51 KOs Liam has held the number 1 spot in the UK rankings since the age of 17 and is widely regarded as the best Muay Thai fighter to ever emerge from the UK.

Join me for an inspiring conversation as Liam unravels his journey with ADHD, filled with struggles and strengths, and how he thrives with ADHD in the sports industry. We explore the unique challenges and triumphs faced by athletes with ADHD. 
And guess what? Athletes with ADHD also struggle with RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria).

We delve into topics such as navigating school with undiagnosed ADHD, using negative reinforcement as a source of motivation, and how Liam overcomes his setbacks. We emphasise the need for greater ADHD awareness in the sporting world, as it can help prevent burnout and maintain a balance between intense training and personal lives. In particular, we highlight the importance of support, especially from coaches and teachers, and how it can impact an athlete's journey. Plus, we discuss how finding a supportive partner who understands ADHD can make all the difference.

For anyone struggling with a late diagnosis, Liam's advice is invaluable in empowering our community. When we embrace our passions and strengths, we can achieve greatness despite the challenges we may face with our ADHD.
