Tommy Verdell | Leadership Equity

Tommy Verdell is the Associate Athletic Director for Inclusion and Compliance & Assistant Professor for Physical Ed at Williams College (Maine). Tommy has a passion for working with student-athletes and has demonstrated the ability to build relationships across campus.


Being prepared for life "when the ball stops bouncing for you", is a key tool that most student-athletes don't ask themselves when in college. He gives a very raw look at what the questions you should be asking yourself and the college coach that's recruiting you.


What we discussed:

  • Questions to ask yourself during the recruiting process
  • A team is not a family! It's a FAMILITY (loyalty, trust, & love)
  • Tools to decrease stress for athletes
  • Leading yourself before leading others
  • Turning vulnerability into a superpower
  • The power of relationships
