Tom paints a vivid image of life as a professional sports person whilst coping with the pressures of growing up as a teenager and becoming an adult. A real insight into the tough journey that he has been on to get to where he is now, including the tragic loss of his own father and role model as well as the highs and lows of competition. Inspiring read
