Football For RED January 2019

I'll be going to the gym every day that I can, and if I don't then I'll be doing rehab work for my poorly ankle that I too often neglect, coaching youth football on Friday nights and, as will many others, I'll be out on blisteringly cold Sunday mornings with my tactics board for match days.

Following my ankle break about 9 years ago now, I spiraled into lethargy and inactivity. Among other things, this led to the onset of my depression some years ago. It comes and goes in waves, but exercise and activity always prove a huge help. My ankle never healed back properly and I'm now prone to injury and pain; this can be helped by doing exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles, but I have to keep at it and stay active, which is why this is a great opportunity for me to be active and raise money for a charity close to my mind.
