昨天是那场“著名”的雷丁客场比赛的20周年纪念日。我把这篇长文留到了今天发，因为昨天似乎大家都在讨论这件事……
无可否认，那一天对英超联赛、对球迷、对我最亲近的人，当然还有我自己，都产生了巨大的影响。
20年过去了，有很多看待这件事的角度，但让我们全面地回顾一下整个故事……
一开始的康复过程非常艰难，有时候我会产生深深的怀疑，不知道自己还能不能重返赛场，但在这一路走来的旅程中，我学到了一些宝贵的经验：
我意识到，能成为这个世界上最好联赛中的一名足球运动员，我是多么的幸运。
我意识到，我是多么地热爱这项运动。
我意识到，你的梦想和生命可能会在瞬间戛然而止。因此你应该带着目标去度过每一天，把每天当成最后一天来活，不浪费一分一秒。
我学到了是大脑控制着一切，并学会了倾听自己身体的声音。
我开始利用认知训练、视觉训练进行更多的大脑锻炼，学会了通过呼吸练习来释放压力和紧张的技巧。
在我和（守门员教练）克里斯托夫·洛利雄的训练中，我加入了完全不同级别的认知难度和多功能练习项目……
我意识到那可能是我职业生涯的终点，所以我开始思考如果真的退役我会去做什么，并意识到如果想从事自己感兴趣的工作，我还需要考取一些特定的资质并接受相关教育（—>所以我一有机会就去做了，为了在退役时做好准备）。
我学到了只要你去寻找并永不放弃，任何问题都有解决的办法。
这向我证实了，我已经准备好迎接任何挑战，而且我热爱接受挑战。
……那个标志性的头盔就这样诞生了……:))
英超联赛修改了关于球员医疗安全的规则，从那时起，每场比赛都会有医务人员在场（并在此过程中挽救了许多生命）。
在文章的最后，我想再次对医疗团队和牛津的拉德克利夫医院（Radcliffe Hospital）说声谢谢。感谢你们给了我活下去的机会，让我能够继续参与我热爱的比赛，打破一些纪录，通过赢得奖杯让数以百万计的球迷感到快乐……
而最珍贵的部分是——我能够成为一名父亲！
所以大家要记住，即使在最艰难的时刻，你也能找到那些值得你倾尽全力的闪光点！
你们可能注意到了我没有提到斯蒂芬（Stephen Hunt，当年与我相撞的球员），而且我和他都从未真正公开谈论过这件事……那是因为当我们在斯坦福桥的比赛后拥抱时，我们达成了一致，不再过多谈论它，让它成为过去……我们都信守了诺言。
祝大家一切顺利

Yesterday it was 20 years since the ‘famous’ Reading away game. I kept this post for today as everyone seemed to be talking about it yesterday...
It is undeniably the day that greatly impacted Premier League, football fans , my closest and of course myself.
After 20 years there are many ways to look at it but let’s put the whole story into perspective...
The recovery was hard at the beginning and I had big doubts sometimes, if I would return to playing, but i have learnt some valuable lessons along the journey...
I realised how privileged i was to be a football player in the best league in the world.
I realised how much i love the game.
I realised that your dreams and your life can end in a second and therefore you should live everyday with purpose because it could be your last and not waste a second.
I learnt that my brain controls everything and learnt to listened to my body.
I started training the brain even more using cognitive training , visual training , learnt the techniques to release stress and tension through breathing exercise.
I added completely different level of cognitive difficulty and multifunctional exercises to my goalkeeper sessions with Christophe Lollichon ...
I realised It could have been the end of my career so I started thinking about what would I do if that was the case and became aware I was missing some specific qualifications and specific education for jobs I would be interested in (—> so i did it when i could to be ready when i retired )
I learnt that every problem has a solution if you look out for it and never give up.
It confirmed to me that I am ready for any challenge and that I love being challenged.
...The iconic helmet was born ... :))
Premier League changed the rules around the players medical safety and the paramedics were present at every game ever since ( having saved many lives in the process ).
To conclude my thoughts I would like to say thank you again to the medical teams and the Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford for giving me the chance to live and allowing me to carry on playing the game i loved, break some records , made millions of fans happy through winning trophies...
And the most precious part - that i could become a father!
So people remember that even in difficult moments you can find hidden gems that are worth every effort!
You noticed i did not mention Stephen and that me or him never really spoke about it ...that’s because when we hugged after the game at Stamford Bridge we agreed not to talk about it too much and leave it behind us ... we keep the word.
Wish you all the best
Big Pete
