Tim got to meet with his alma mater, Providence College before they took on Creighton this weekend ⚽ They talked about how strong their team culture is becoming and how they can lean on it as Big East play begins. Culture doesn't happen by accident. It's built by athletes who take ownership of it, and that's exactly what this group is doing!

Ever wonder why some athletes get butterflies and others get frozen with dread? There's a real difference between pre-game jitters and performance anxiety — and knowing which one you're dealing with changes everything about how to handle it.

Jitters are your body getting ready to perform. Anxiety is your body trying to protect you from a threat that isn't really there. One sharpens focus. The other steals it.

We broke down the signs of each — and what actually helps — in our latest blog post. 👇

Homework used to take 20 minutes. Now it's two hours and a meltdown before you've even opened the folder. 😩

If that sounds familiar, you're not imagining it — and your kid isn't being lazy. For a lot of students, ADHD and anxiety show up together, and they feed each other: forgetting an assignment sparks worry about failing, and that worry makes it even harder to focus and get started. It becomes a loop.

The good news? That loop can be broken — with the right support, not just "try harder."

In our latest blog, we talk about:
✅ Why ADHD + anxiety show up together so often
✅ What it actually looks like at home (hint: it's not always obvious)
✅ The piece most families miss even after an ADHD diagnosis
✅ What genuinely helps — from breaking down tasks to easing nightly homework battles

If school has turned into a nightly struggle in your house, you're not doing anything wrong, and neither is your kid. Read the full post 👇
