England prop and World Cup champion Hannah Botterman joins Mine and Paul for an honest, hilarious dive into life as a neurodivergent athlete. From growing up in a rugby family to being kicked out of college, from “van-life” painting and decorating to unexpectedly earning her England caps, Hannah shares the chaotic, funny, and vulnerable moments that shaped her.
She opens up about her late ADHD diagnosis, emotional dysregulation, the impact on relationships, and how medication and understanding coaches changed everything. Hannah also talks about the post–World Cup crash, knee-slide injuries, LGBTQ+ visibility in sport, and what she hopes for the future of women’s rugby.

The ADHD Athlete with Hannah Botterman
