Hi Everyone 👋🏻
Thought i would show my face as I havent posted for a bit! So its been 3 months since I left the world of football ⚽️
Am I missing it? I get asked that a lot. The answer is no. I spent 16 years in a role that took me from GGL to Wembley and as much as I enjoyed it, I also had to sacrifice a lot with family, friends and loved ones and when it came down to it either football or my sanity I chose myself something i dont usually do. I've done enough working in showers, and days off helping players get to achieve their goals, sleeping on coaches. Its my time now and even though I have no regrets, I am also 42, and I didnt want to be an old woman in football.
So I have been at Spire now for the last 3 months, and its completely different to my last role but in a good way as im learning different things in regards to rehab. I am spending a lot of time in the hydro pool which is perfect as I am a water baby and also in the gym helping people get back on their feet. Its also been rewarding helping people who havent got the access like footballers do so I use my knowledge and communication skills to get them back on their feet and also their confidence.
I am also getting some spare time which is nice, the clinic is thriving (thank you to all my clients who have been patient with me) and also learning to not be in survival mode, which has not been fun in the slightest. Interesting but thats what healing and going from one life to another is all about. Ive worked hard on myself and its been worth it. I could safely say, I like me, and I would have a beer 🍺 with myself.
I'll leave it there, thank you for taking the time to read and sending you all my love 💓
