"Thomas has excelled in regards to his year of athletic development at The Hill Academy. From a physical standpoint, Thomas has great mechanical efficiency. He has sound biomechanics through dynamic movement both linearly and laterally, as well as primary strength training patterns in his squat, hinge, push and pull movements. He demonstrates explosive power through triple extension, excels at complex training patterns, and is an athlete who will see a steady progression in the long-term. Thomas is highly coachable, self-sufficient, and demonstrates a level of maturity and professionalism that is uncommon in an athlete of his age"

"Thomas is a highly coachable and driven individual who has been a key driver in his own athletic and personal development during his year at The Hill Academy. He performs fundamental movements: squat, lunge, lift, push and pull, with considerable competency. This has translated to him mastering complex exercises, and an improvement in his strength, power and speed. Thomas’ movement quality and efficiency are critical to his continued athletic development. He has shown great strides as an athlete but it is his commitment to his own development, willingness to learn, and focused mindset that will permit him to see success in any area he pursues"

"I had the pleasure of teaching/coaching Thomas Rozema this year. The Hill Academy's strength & conditioning is a highly competitive and demanding environment. Thomas's effort was relentless and he is extremely coachable and adaptable.
Academically, Thomas was a very strong student. On assignments, he made the effort to submit his work to me well before deadlines. As a student, Thomas was extremely polite and attentive during class. He always had a smile on his face, and he was a positive influence on his fellow students. While Thomas is quiet, he is still an active and engaged student who listens very closely to his classmates, and when he does speak, people listen to him
Thomas also has a great sense of humour and he got along well with his classmates and teammates. Thomas and some of the other student-athletes in his class had a very healthy but competitive relationship where they constantly tried to out-do each other in workout, which was great to see as a teacher and coach because it provided another form of motivation for them to succeed in the weight room and work as hard as they could to do so.
Thomas is a standout person and athlete. He is a leader and demonstrates a significant commitment to his goals and to the pursuit of excellence. I highly recommend Thomas for your program. He will be an asset to his community and he was a pleasure to be around. If you have any other questions, please let me know"

Dedication/Commitment: Extreme, very few athletes will be able to keep up to Thomas in this respect as well.

Effort: You will get 10/10 effort from Thomas every single day, every single practice, every single minute.
Sportsmanship: As mentioned, Thomas conducts himself honourably with all of his interactions. This extends to his sportsmanship.
Leadership: University studies should be done on Thomas' leadership abilities as a teenager. I've literally never seen another teenager command such respect and lead groups to higher levels.
