Sometimes, it’s the most challenging times that present us with the best opportunities. When life took an unexpected turn with the arrival of COVID-19 in 2020, Tom Bowen adapted.

Hear Tom’s story of how he made the most of this time and see how you and your team can take a leaf out of Tom’s book.
Being able to perform under pressure is an essential skill for anyone who wants to reach the top of their game. Tom Bowen spent 8 years travelling the world, playing for England Sevens against the best teams. However, the constant pressure of performing in front of thousands and even that of up-and-coming players knocking on the door for his position meant that maintaining peak performance was imperative. Learn how Tom keeps his cool on and off the pitch.
Professional rugby players, having spent much of their careers in team sports, from clubs to national teams and even the Olympics, possess unique insights into the essence of teamwork. This experience allows them to articulate the importance of teamwork and its intricacies with a level of expertise few can match. The talk will explore what great teamwork means from the perspective of an athlete who has achieved winning results through effective collaboration. It will also offer strategies to cultivate a culture of teamwork within any organisation, drawing on lessons from the world of professional sports.
The desire and motivation to be picked to play weighs heavily on all professional athlete’s minds. Not getting picked can have real psychological impacts as many will know. In Tom Bowen’s case, he got picked as a reserve player for the Great Britain Rugby Sevens Squad, but he unfortunately never played. Although incredibly disappointing, Tom dealt with this with utter professionalism. Now Tom shares this experience so he can help others to overcome the setbacks in their lives too.
Being more confident in your job can have a whole host of benefits to the individual and to the team around them. From improved communication to better productivity to higher levels of innovation, confidence is key. And it’s the same in sport. Backing yourself is imperative as a professional sportsperson; it is part of the genetic makeup. The good news is, though, that confidence can be learnt, and rugby player Tom Bowen is here to show you how.
