Skateboarding
BACKGROUND

In 2018, Tommy found himself at a crossroads when his band disbanded, prompting him to channel his energy into coaching. Leveraging his success as a singer-songwriter, Tommy recognised the importance of forging his path and pursuing his passions with unwavering dedication. Tommy's relationship with skateboarding dates back to his younger years, serving as a beacon of solace and self-expression following the loss of his mother at a young age. What began as a hobby blossomed into a lifelong passion, providing Tommy with a creative outlet and a source of resilience during difficult times. During his tenure at Virgin Active, Tommy's unconventional views on skateboarding clashed with prevailing attitudes, but he remained steadfast in his belief in the sport's merits. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to empower others, Tommy immersed himself in the study of fitness and coaching, specialising in corrective exercise, nutrition, and strength and conditioning. He is now (amongst two established brands abroad), one of the first strength and conditioning coaches, and probably the only private studio owner in the U.K (and possibly in the world) to help improve a skateboarder's strength and power for longevity and performance.
