Abstract | In this interview, major league baseball world-series winner Scott Eyre talks about his attention and learning problems, how certain teachers helped him to deal with his struggles and how he managed to eventually become a big star in baseball. Reflecting on the way that his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) influenced his life, Eyre sees positive aspects of his condition (like the high energy level associated with his ADHD). He explains how his love for baseball helped him to learn how to focus on different tasks in life. In addition, he highlights how baseball can help build a sense of belonging regardless of one's disability. In closing, he expounds on how his experience as an athlete with attention and learning problems was helpful in supporting young struggling players that he coached. (As Provided). |
