Thom Smith

SQUAD is back for Series 2, this time presented by the magical Joel M! 
 
The amazing young people who took part in Series 1 of SQUAD told us they felt worried that growing up in a military family could impact their career options, grades and ultimately the ability to achieve their dreams. Here at SQUAD we took this seriously and have been busy finding adults who, just like you, grew up in military families but have gone on to do brilliant things in their careers. 

In this episode, SQUAD presenter Joel M speaks to professional rugby player and Little Troopers ambassador Thom Smith. Thom’s Dad served in both the Army & RAF and was deployed multiple times including tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Thom shares his journey to becoming a professional athlete - highlighting the impact his Dad's military career had on him. He reflects on the uncertainty and anxiety that came with having a parent deployed and how this shaped his perspective on life. 

SQUAD is brought to you by the military children’s charity Little Troopers. To find out more about the work they do, visit wwww.littletroopers.net.
