Adolescent athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) experience unique challenges that impact their sport performance, such as making errors due to poor concentration. The current multiple-baseline across behaviors case trial (i.e., positive assertion and negative assertion) is an evaluation of The Optimum Performance Program in Sports in an adolescent athlete diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Intervention skill sets were targeted sequentially in a virtual format to safeguard against COVID-19 contraction. A battery of psychological measures was administered at baseline, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up. Results indicated negative and positive assertion skills improved, but only when targeted, and severity of ADHD and ODD symptom severity, general mental health symptoms, and factors interfering with sport performance decreased from pre- to post-intervention and these improvements were maintained at 1-month follow-up. Similar improvements occurred in relationships with coaches, teammates, and family. Treatment integrity and consumer satisfaction were high.
患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）和对立违抗障碍（ODD）的青少年运动员面临着影响其运动表现的独特挑战，比如因注意力不集中而犯错。当前的跨行为多基线个案试验（即积极断言和消极断言）是对一名被诊断患有ADHD和ODD的青少年运动员的运动最佳表现计划的评估。干预技能集以虚拟形式按顺序进行针对性训练，以防止感染新冠病毒。在基线、干预后和1个月随访时进行了一系列心理测量。结果表明，消极和积极断言技能有所提高，但只有在针对性训练时才会提高，并且ADHD和ODD症状的严重程度、一般心理健康症状以及干扰运动表现的因素从干预前到干预后有所下降，这些改善在1个月随访时得以维持。在与教练、队友和家人的关系方面也出现了类似的改善。治疗完整性和消费者满意度都很高。
