Kevin George, BACP-registered clinical therapist and former professional footballer, writes about his introduction to tai chi and qi gong on the set of the Bollywood film Goal, where he served as a body double for John Abraham. After observing a fellow actor whose mastery of these moving meditations produced extraordinary calm alongside remarkable physical power, George enrolled in both practices. He explores how they redefined his understanding of rest, how they sharpened his therapeutic attunement, and why they are particularly relevant when working with traumatised young people, boys in SEND environments, alternative provisions, youth offending institutes, and prisons.
