Expand The last thing anyone should do if going through mental health problems is to turn their back on what they loved doing. A lot of sports stars have come to regret walking away whilst their careers were in full swing. I'm pretty sure he won't feel any better being an ex-rider. Sometimes you've just got to ride the storm until it has passed. Just my opinion on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If your "head" isn't on the job in hand, then stepping away from speedway is a sensible thing to do, IMO. Last thing you want is to be "elsewhere" in your head when on a speedway track with 3 others doing speeds of up to 60mph. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Connor isn't lost to the sport but greater than that, much greater, I hope I find peace and happiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
