Summary
Why is it that student-athletes can show incredible discipline in sports, but struggle to stay organized or focused in school? In this episode, Brandon talks with John Gassner, ADHD coach and academic strategist with Order Out of Chaos. A former Division I swimmer and ESPN sports marketing exec, John brings both personal experience and professional insight into the unique challenges student-athletes face with executive function. Together, they unpack why time and energy management—not just motivation—are the key skills for balance. From sleep and nutrition to planning and self-advocacy, John shares proven strategies to help students build structure, close EF gaps, and perform at their best—both in the classroom and on the field.
