My friend was a ball boy at the emirates and he said that every time. Tim Howard kicked the ball up the pitch for a goal kick he would start randomly swearing. It all makes sense now

Well, even Abraham Lincoln was 6’5” with a goatee, and yet his voice was said to high and shrill.

Spot on description of having Tourette's. Love him for being so open about it.

My daughter (9) has Tourette’s and so many of the traits he’s describing are true of her too. It’s great for her to see someone in the public eye with the same as her.

I have an 11yo with tourettes too and he has a list of celebrities with tourettes that includes Mozart, Dan Aykroyd, Howie Mandel, David Beckham and Billie Eilish.❤ He looks at it when the tics suck and tell himself it brings good traits too.

Kate Blakemore I’m 16 and I have Tourette’s and I also want to be a football player so this interview was really good for me

I didn't see any ticks. I guess the condition has upsides of athletic proficiency. As a boy I played with a guy who ticked a lot by the eye but he was prolific goal scorer.

Nah man I have ts and I’m a literal potato. Ts and athleticism have absolutely nothing to do with each other

I tried a lot of different medications. They dulled the senses and had intolerable side effects. I decided it was better to deal with the tics and feel good.

@Hayden_M_Kearney 2 жыл бұрын

The same thing happened to me... I now keep a prescription filled but only ever take it on days it becomes unbearable and hurts.

@lukewood7016 Жыл бұрын

yeah that was me too. except whenever i had medications they tended to just make the other tics worse, so one week id take a med for vocal and the next week the vocal tics would stop and the moder tics would get way worse

Your condition is way more common than you realize. I don’t have TS, but I can definitely imagine it must feel amazing to watch someone who goes through the same daily struggles you do compete and dominate in their respective sport.

you mean about the medication? there is no medication for tourette's there's just other medications that have been known to help to a certain extent
