Back in May 2020, I was a pedestrian who was hit by a speeding vehicle. I suffered a traumatic brain injury along with multiple orthopedic injuries. I lived a very active life before the accident with plenty of hobbies. Now my life is completely different. I was struggling mentally. I wasn't going out. I had no hobbies. This is when fishing was mentioned to me to try a new hobby. From there, fishing had a massive impact on me by being out in green and blue spaces. It, improved my mental health. Also, by learning a new skill, it improved my self-worth and self-esteem. I'm now a fully qualified level 2 angling coach with a passion to make more people who have similar circumstances to me have access to fishing. So they can also benefit from the physical and mental health benefits of fishing.
