Neurodivergent brains are wired differently. And although the differences can be invisible, they’re very real. And they rule EVERYTHING about how your athlete participates in sports, school, and life. If their differences are misunderstood or not recognized, they can become fearful, angry, or stressed out. They may disrupt practice, show up late or unprepared, and even get kicked off the team.
Through our ADHD Athlete Coaching Academy™, we work virtually with students to help them navigate the unique challenges, pressures, and demands that come with being a student-athlete with ADHD. We offer customized support to help them develop the tools, strategies, and mindset needed to balance academics, sports, and life.

John Gasser is a seasoned ADHD coach, academic success strategist, and expert in helping students with ADHD thrive.
With years of experience working with student-athletes, John understands the unique challenges they face both on and off the field. A lifelong athlete, John has excelled at all levels: as a three-sport varsity athlete in high school (water polo, swimming, and golf) and as a four-year Division I swimmer at Lafayette College. Prior to becoming a coach, John enjoyed a successful career in sports marketing, having held leadership positions at ESPN, the New York Road Runners, and Endeavor.
An accomplished athlete and a master in ADHD coaching, John combines his passion for sports and expertise in ADHD management to help empower students to excel academically and athletically.
“This last semester, under John's guidance, our daughter has achieved her highest GPA to date (3.5) and she has the confidence she needs as she launches off to college where she will continue to play soccer at the collegiate level.”
– Danielle S.
“As a college athlete, I struggled with academics as well as time management. With help from John and the amazing system Order Out of Chaos has, I not only had one of the best semesters I've had academically, but I also found school to be a lot less stressful through his help with time management. Even this semester I am on track to make the Dean's List through the techniques and tips I learned. I cannot recommend this program enough!”
– Apostoli K.
“After just one semester of working together, I have learned how to balance soccer, academics, and keep a vibrant social life. John has held me accountable and motivated me to be efficient and productive daily. I have seen my motivation levels go from a 0 to a 10 in less than a few months. I ended this semester with a 3.5 GPA (the best GPA I have ended a semester with in high school), and I had learned many tools to carry with me to college.”
– Megan S.
“Time management has always been a struggle for my son, especially as a student-athlete. So when it came time for college, we knew he needed extra support. Student coaching gave him the structure and tools that he needed (in addition to what the school provided) to ease his stress and help him find ways to manage sports, school, and time with friends. His coach truly made himself available when my son needed him, to help talk through issues that came up, changes in schedules, etc. So thankful we found this type of coaching that really does cater to the college athlete.”
– Valerie W.
“Our daughter was diagnosed with ADHD in 7th grade and was able to squeak through the middle school and early high school years balancing her academics and soccer. As both the academic and soccer commitments became more intense, we knew that we needed to intervene and find someone to help her learn to balance it all. Coaching has given her tools to help her manage her busy schedule, and also help with things like note taking and organization. We still have a ways to go but are so happy that we started when we did and have seen tons of progress! ”
— Jonah M.
Michelle was a high school senior year when we started working together. She shared that she thought she had a major procrastination problem, but it turned out to be a time management issue instead. Michelle couldn’t understand why she didn’t have enough time to get a significant amount of homework done before swim practice. She was a star swimmer, swam for her varsity high school team and was going to be on a D1 swim team at college in the fall.
Michelle had practice every day after school. By the time she got home in the evenings, showered, and had dinner, she was facing mountains of homework. She was barely able to complete what was due the next day never mind larger projects and studying.
And although she knew her practice and game schedules, she failed to consider the off-season training sessions, team dinners on game nights and countless school and fundraising events. These “extras” added major stress to her schedule and prevented her from getting everything done that needed to be.
We immediately identified that missing from Michelle’s toolkit was a consistent post-practice routine and a go to physical tool to keep her on track with her school assignments and team commitments. Using the OOOC Academic Planner, I taught her planning and prioritizing skills. The planner accompanied her everywhere she went, and she reviewed it multiple times per day. This allowed Michelle to map her time and adjust her daily schedule. We also established a consistent evening routine so she could complete her schoolwork and get ready for the next day.
When Michelle entered her freshman year as a Division 1 student athlete, she had the tools and confidence to make a healthy transition from high school to college and thrive on every playing field.
Our ADHD Athlete Coaching Academy™ will level up your students’ performance, enhance their athletic abilities, and help them embrace their ADHD to their greatest advantage.
