Thank you. If you ask me, dodgeball should be banned; that isn't a team sport...it encourages a very dangerous mob mentality. (Personally I am not a fan of forced participation in team sports by schools, anyway, but dodgeball is particularly bad.)

My coordination is awful. I'm not too bad a driver, but I am also conservative because I know my ability to judge distances and speeds, not to mention my reaction time, isn't the best.

Is this common with people with just ADHD?

My hand/eye coordination is awful, as anyone who's had the misfortune of playing a sport with me. I can catch well, I can ride a bike without any problem but anything beyond that leaves me looking like a jellyfish with rabies.

I'm learning the guitar at the moment... unsurprisingly, the theoretical side of it is intuitive to me, but the physical act of playing the guitar is a lot harder. Maybe constant practice will improve my general hand/eye coordination as well as my guitar playing ability?

Yes. :wink:
Remember to relax and not tense up, and when you get tired, take a break. Goodluck!
