"Because I'm using less energy day-to-day, I find it harder to switch off at night. Reading helps me wind down. I put my phone away, stay off social media, turn the TV off and read."
"I knew I wanted to be a footballer and nothing was going to distract me. I had good parents who kept me on the right path and away from trouble."
"When I've been injured, I've stayed away from social media. But this is something I believe in, so I want to be out there."
Levi Colwill, a 23-year-old Chelsea defender, has spent seven months recovering from ACL surgery. During his rehabilitation, he discovered reading as a way to manage insomnia and wind down. He credits self-improvement books like Atomic Habits with helping him develop beneficial routines. Concerned about declining childhood literacy—with only one in five children reading daily—Colwill has taken a stake in a digital reading service providing free access to 1,000 books for children. His involvement stems from his own upbringing, where supportive parents kept him focused on football and away from trouble. Following Marcus Rashford's example with school meal campaigns, Colwill aims to champion this literacy initiative as a meaningful social contribution.
