In this episode we discuss:
- Tom’s early inspirations and how he chose his career – (hint: lying on a beach in Fiji watching crabs run up the beach)
- How a significant personal family event, led to Tom re-evaluating life and what was important to him and his young family
- His sporting passion and how he went about getting his dream job (and England kit)
- Being persistent & resilient - if you want something bad enough it won’t just happen!
- Why children are NOT little adults
- Who helped mentor Tom and the lessons he learnt from them to inspire his career progression
- Not being afraid to assess kids, they are pretty robust
