ADHD, Perfectionism, and the Power of Just Starting — with Soccer Coach Eric Jennings

Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Episode 046: In this energizing episode of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, Ron sits down with Eric Jennings, developmental soccer coach and host of the World XP Podcast, to explore how ADHD, sports, and confidence collide.

From overcoming rejection to coaching youth through emotional and mental hurdles, Eric shares how athletics helped him rewire ADHD tendencies—from overthinking to action, from shame spirals to focused recovery.

You’ll learn:

✅ How paralysis analysis keeps ADHD brains stuck—and what breaks it
✅ The goldfish brain mindset: focus on the next moment, not the last mistake
✅ Why clear communication is an ADHD superpower in disguise
✅ How building confidence starts with small wins and skill stacking
✅ The truth about rejection—and how to turn it into your leadership training ground

Whether you’re navigating ADHD, coaching others, or just tired of letting “perfect” hold you hostage—this conversation is the push forward you didn’t know you needed.

🎯 Plus: How Eric’s podcast and coaching work have built not just better players—but better humans.
