À propos de ce contenu audio

 Weird Kid On Your Team is a podcast that explores the unique experiences of neurodivergent athletes and disruptors—how conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or Tourette's shape their journey in sports. It highlights the challenges they face, the strengths they carry, and how sports can foster both inclusion and self-discovery. This is what happens when neurodivergent minds collide with the world of competition. We talk identity, pressure, performance—and how thinking differently can be a game-changing advantage. With raw stories and expert voices, the show reveals how diverse minds build strength, shift culture, and create lasting community. If you've ever felt like the odd one out with something to offer, you're in the right place. 🎤 Host: Zoie Reed

    • Matt Gad on Autism, Sports, and Career Change | Finding Purpose Beyond the Spectrum

      Matt Gad on Autism, Sports, and Career Change | Finding Purpose Beyond the Spectrum
      Aug 17 2025

      Episode 1 of Weird Kid on Your Team starts where few stories do — with a high school connection, a path toward sports journalism, and the courage to leave it behind to find where you truly belong. THE Matt Gad joins me to talk about navigating autism growing up, identity, and why a career change can redefine what success means. Watch or listen to hear how his journey led from interviewing athletes to people management at Target — and what he's discovered about himself along the way.
