To mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we are rereleasing a fascinating and important episode exploring neurodiversity in sport. 

The guests for this 2023 episode were Helena Russo, the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at Paddle UK; Nerys Hall, a marathon and sprint paddler; and Caragh McMurtry, a former Olympic rower and founder of Neurodiverse Sport

Nerys and Caragh have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and high functioning autism, respectively.

Topics covered in the episode include: 

• what their diagnosis means for them
• how neurodivergence has affected their sporting lives
• tips for coaches considering how to adapt their coaching practice 

Paddle UK have also created a brand new mini-series of resources around Neurodiversity. A new resource is being released weekly and the first resource is available here
