“I was struggling with my mental health and that one day a week was an escape for me, a place to enjoy myself. I have changed so much. My confidence, the way I am as a person.” With support from Premier League Kicks, Addison gained the confidence to be an inspiration to others. At nine years old, he began attending #PLKicks sessions run by City in the Community. By taking part for an hour a week, he gained confidence, developed coping skills and found a space to be himself. Eleven years later, Addison is now a coach on City in the Community’s disability programme and is passionate about inspiring the next generation to reach their potential both on and off the pitch. Discover Addison's story here 👉 https://lnkd.in/d4C39AXH More than half a million young people like Addison have engaged with Premier League Kicks since the programme began in 2006. If you used to go to Premier League Kicks, we want to hear from you too! Take part in our quick evaluation survey here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ddQjhZ7R #PLMoreThanAGame
