On Wednesday, Feb. 26, the University of Colorado Boulder hosted the 2020 Inclusive Sports Summit. The morning keynote tackled the subject of hidden disabilities among athletes, such as ADHD and other personal obstacles. On the panel, former CU running back Phillip Lindsay opened up about his experience with a hidden disability. Other speakers included current women’s lacrosse defender Elinor Wolf, CU Athletic Associate Director and Learning Specialist Michele Brannigan and Kellen Story, Manager of Program Initiatives at CU.
Student-athletes are tasked with two full-time commitments with the sport they play and the degree that they are pursuing. For many, that can be overwhelming.
