Lee Povey, a world-renowned track cycling coach, discovered his dyslexia at 50, shedding light on his lifelong struggles with writing. Despite excelling in math and science, expressing himself in words posed challenges. Online tests confirmed dyslexia, providing clarity to his difficulties.
Lee’s athletic journey became his refuge, excelling in sprint cycling within velodromes. His empathy and visionary thinking set him apart, both as an athlete and coach, guiding fellow cyclists.
However, an accident highlighted his own reluctance to seek and accept help, prompting a transformation. Lee’s experience led to establishing networks supporting men’s mental health, harnessing his dyslexia-empowered strengths.
