Nordic skiing has changed my life. When I was young I did not think I was capable of performing in such an intense sport. I saw women with such strength and power‚ gliding effortlessly across the snow. I wanted to be like them‚ but I lacked the confidence‚ and I was hesitant to leave my comfort zone.

If you’ve made it to this post‚ you are probably ready for some solutions. The internet is brimming with advice on what to do and not do. I know when my daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD‚ I was completely overwhelmed. Here I was with this diagnosis but no one bothered to give me an instruction manual.
