In 2012, Tom Bowen joined Plymouth Albion. Initially a centre, Tom took on a new challenge and switched to playing wing, earning him a spot as one of the top try scorers in his first and second seasons. This remarkable feat secured him the title of Plymouth's Young Player of the Season for two consecutive seasons. In 2014, Tom debuted for the England Sevens team, representing his country for the next 8 years. This tenure saw him play all around the world, competing against the best teams in the game. When COVID hit, Tom adapted to the changing times, teaching rugby and fitness. His commitment to promoting the sport, even in the face of adversity, showcased his resilience and love for the game. In 2021, Tom received a remarkable confirmation – a place as the reserve player in the Great Britain Rugby Sevens squad for the upcoming Olympic Games. Another nod to his unwavering determination and talent. Tom's journey is a testament to the power of dedication, adaptability, and a passion for rugby. His story reminds us that even in the face of uncertainty and change, one can continue to pursue their dreams and make a meaningful impact.

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.

Bouncing Back From Setbacks

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.
