Today’s episode is a story of true grit, resilience in the face of adversity, and the importance of human connections.
We chat to rugby player Ian McKinley, who suffered a devastating eye injury forcing him to retire from rugby at the age of 21. He takes us through the twists and turns of his life since then, first as a coach in Italy and then following the adoption of specially modified goggles, as a player in the Italian league from third division to Pro-12.
He then went on to play at the highest level for the Italian National team. He tells us about the experience of living with an acquired disability.
He also speaks movingly about the support he received from his loving family throughout his journey.
We loved hearing his incredible story and hope you do too!
