Former Premier League player and pundit, Joleon Lescott, has won almost every major honour in English football, including two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the League Cup with Manchester City. He’s also played for England 26 times and coached the England Under 21s to win the Euros. But it’s his Dyslexic Thinking that has given him the edge on the pitch – and as a pundit. He tells Kate how his visual processing, spatial awareness and intuition – which all stem from the Dyslexic Thinking skill of Visualisation - helped him throughout his career and reveals that, of all the glory photos, trophies and medals, it’s his graduation photo that has pride of place on his mum’s wall.
