What Makes Tom Different?

Tom stands out for his natural ability and the speed at which he has developed since entering the sport. He brings a quiet intensity to training and competition, always analysing and searching for small edges that improve performance. Off the floor he is relaxed and approachable, but when the workout starts he switches instantly into a fierce competitor.

Tom's VOLT Kit

Tom was the first VOLT Athlete and is almost always training in VOLT grips and apparel. Interestingly, he prefers not to use sweatbands, meaning he does not take advantage of the MagnaSafe system. At this level though, the kit still has to keep up with the demands of training and competition.
