Description
xSince early childhood, I was a person who stutters (PWS). I also loved hockey and writing. Growing up as a PWS came with its share of challenges. I was bullied, mocked, doubted, and even dismissed because I had considerable difficulty speaking. These were catalysts to long-term depression, leading me to doubt myself as a successful person.
As an escape, I would write. While I loved writing stories and screenplays, nothing gave me more pleasure than writing about my favourite teams and players, commenting on their victories and even defeats. It wasn't until I was an adult, though, that I wanted to be a regular sportswriter. Unfortunately, due to being a PWS, I couldn't conduct phone or in-person interviews. Or so I thought.
For years, I had limited myself due to my stutter. However, during a dark time in my life, I decided that something needed to change.
With new, creative methods, I gave interviewing a try. Lo and behold, it worked. Since then, I have interviewed hundreds in the sports industry while having the privilege of covering some major events and writing for some major platforms.
In this book, I take you on my journey as a sportswriter who stutters. This includes some important people in my life who helped me achieve what I've always wanted to on a journey filled with its share of sadness and frustration but also perseverance and vindication.
I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I've enjoyed telling it.
Read on and enjoy! Reviews: "ALL THE RIGHT WORDS, My Journey as a Sportswriter Who Stutters is a truly remarkable, inspirational, emotionally uplifting and humorous must read and a re-read!"
