What could be a better team name than that?! According to CHADD’s Glossary of Terms, “he front part of the frontal lobe in the brain that plays a role in controlling attention, behavior, judgment, and emotion.” One might say the prefrontal cortex is the defense against unwanted behaviors. The prefrontal cortex is a key player in ADHD behavior. Hence, the applicability of this term for fantasy football.ĬHADD’s Glossary of Terms, which they offer on their website for clarity of what we mean when talking about various aspects of ADHD, defines a neurotransmitter as a “chemical in the brain that functions as a messenger to transmit nerve impulses between nerve cells (neurons) within the nervous system.” Neurotransmitters are key players in ADHD, and can be key players for your fantasy football team! The options are endless.įootball teams also need to attack their opponents on multiple fronts. This could mean medication and coaching, medication and a vigorous exercise regimen, or some other combination of ADHD interventions. ADHD experts often recommend a multimodal approach to managing ADHD. Medication alone will not solve all ADHD problems. *Houston got used twice because they were the only H-location team in the NFL.ĪDHD is best treated on multiple fronts. Hyperfocusing on the game of football can be a strength on the field or in fantasy football. Some refer to this as “flow,” not hyperfocus. Sometimes, the ADHD brain can hyperfocus on something, causing everything else to seemingly disappear. It could be what they are supposed to be focusing on, or it could be their own daydreams. ADHDers are always paying attention to something. However, another way of looking at it is, not a deficit of attention, but a lack of attention regulation. I know I would not want to go up against a hyperactive defense.

It provides relentless energy to take to opponents. However, hyperactivity can be a strength in sports. I think “Distractions” is a great team name.ĪDHDers are known for their hyperactivity. However, if you distract your opponents in sporting events (or fantasy football) that creates an opportunity for your success. They take you away from achieving your goal. If you have ADHD, you are familiar with distractions. Naming your team the “comorbid conditions” could raise awareness that ADHD does not always occur by itself. Many people (roughly half or more depending on your source) have another co-occurring condition. It is quite common for ADHD to have a tag-along. There is also potential for a football pun by changing “receptors” to “receivers,” but I’ll let you decide how you want that to play out. Dopamine receptors “mediate the central and peripheral actions of dopamine” ( Sibley and Neve 2008). I explained the significance of dopamine above. Dopamine is a key player in ADHD and could be a key player in your fantasy football dominance this year. This leads to behaviors that are, well, interesting.

Feel free to substitute your city or another location if you like the team name but not the location.ĭopamine is the reward chemical in the brain. There is no reason why you have to use the location names I went with I just used NFL franchise locations. I went for alliteration over something that makes sense neurologically.

If you play in a league that requires a location as part of your team name, I have included some. Why not use this year’s team name as an opportunity to raise ADHD awareness? There are some great possibilities out there. If you are like me, you want a unique name for your team.
