Chess

I have a great passion for chess. It's a great board game that I always play with my dad and little brother. Chess teaches strategy and this creates thinking about two or three moves in advance instead of focusing only on what the next move of your chess piece will be. This changes the usual concentration of only thinking about what is going to happen in the next five seconds. This enhances my planning skills and allows me to think beyond first move and immediate future.

Chess taught me patience and helped to improve my executive functioning skills. Chess allows me to practice all the facets of executive functioning and provides a motivation (winning) to engage in all these facets.
