The Nicky Weeks Story Tough Love and Second Chances - EDGA

- Sport
My guest this week is former amateur jockey Nicky Weeks from England. I caught up with Nicky a day before she played in an event in the Rose Series during the 2020 Covid period.
Nicky was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in her late thirties, with the first symptoms coming immediately after a day of accountancy examinations, which led to her becoming a qualified accountant.
In golf, Nicky found not only a sport to which she could channel her competitive juices, but also a game that gives her social interaction. I found our conversation fascinating as Nicky explained how she copes with her invisible disability, reveals the importance of keeping fit, and why asking for help is essential in living her life fully.
