What Thomas does
It is my goal as president of the IAFF to promote the sport of amputee football, or soccer as it is known in North America, to reach out to the world of amputees so that they to can have the opportunity to experience the joy of experiencing the sport they knew and loved before amputation. This rehabilitative sport, the one true world sport, the game of kings... brings self respect back into the life of the amputee... as well as into the family unit, community... and the world community! I travel around the world, to where-ever I am called, to coach and speak about the sport I love and to support the football family the best that I am able ~ The joy of healing and growing the world family is more reward than anything else I could think of!
What Thomas does best
Coaching and promoting... I am a teacher and a motivator I enjoy what I do and how it affects our community - locally and through out the world.
What does Thomas need?
Ok, simply put... I need a fundraiser! I can teach, sell the importance... but with out the funding... there are no turning wheels = no outreach.
Education
Years of teaching adaptive sports and fitness as well as coaching both soccer and ski racing. Photography, design, graphics... Prosthetic R&D, Adaptive equipment... even boot-fitting - I have worn many hats and had many wonderful life experiences.
Experience
Raised in a sports and fitness environment, at 14 years old became a licenced football referee, partisipated in club football till loosing my leg in a near fatal car accident avoiding a head on collision. The life changing event led me to prosthetic research, which led me to amputee football. That exposed me to the ski racing... and teaching adaptive sports. Now, at 52 years old, I enjoy the ability to give the gift of guided discovery... teaching others the freedom of letting go and living life to the fullest.
