How one classroom changed by the encouragement of Meryl Davis
Steve Redgrave
“I did the same subjects as everyone else but found it hard to keep up, and always knew I wasn’t going to pass my 11-plus.”
He had special lessons with the headmistress, and spent a lot of extra time working on his reading. Still now, despite all the extra work, he still sees letters upside-down or backwards. He relied on his natural intelligence to get him through school.
“With dyslexia, your other senses become sharper. My memory was great at school but it has become appalling these days!”
Redgrave has won a whopping 17 gold medals, 2 silver, and 2 bronze at the Olympics games and Rowing World Championships as well as the Commonwealth games.
He defines hard work and perseverance. He is a true, bonafide inspiration to aspiring athletes and dyslexics everywhere.
And here are a few more ;)
