The relationship between the American champion and three years of high school students has been a lively dialogue, which saw the athlete A1 alternate English to Italian, to which she has excellent command, allowing the students to put the test their knowledge of foreign language. Language in which posed some questions to the wing of Cimberio team, where the player has arrived last September after a season Olimpia Milano. His experience, moreover, is very similar to that of many students the "Pantani", many of whom train at a fast pace, just like Thomas, who in the years when he attended the ' high school in North Carolina had achieved great sporting success, thanks to which he had earned a scholarship to university. The same university where he would like to return in the future as a coach in the team he played: it is precisely that of "coach", in fact, the role which the athlete imagines itself at the end of racing career, which hopes to complete in Italy, where now playing for seven years.
Like all young American basketball players, even JOBEY dreamed of entering the NBA, where even after the start of His adventure in Italy, which began at Imola in 2003, had tried to fit into different teams, but "nobody has a guaranteed contract: I have therefore decided to stay in Europe." Among the best matches leading to the heart that won last year, with the colors dell'Armani Jeans Milan, against the colossus of CSKA Moscow.
Meeting Thomas has also proved a valuable opportunity to compare the Italian and American styles of life: the latter, according to the athlete, much more hectic. Italy has instead "a different mentality," more attentive to human relationships: "Here people are always together." A way of life that the sample has made their own, but coming from a country like the United States, where "many are convinced that their lifestyle is the best." Hence the invitation to students to "spend time, even short periods abroad, seizing any opportunity offered by sport, to broaden their horizons." The coordinator of the school
Sara Ciapparelli has finally failed to pay, on behalf of all students, best wishes on your birthday with Thomas, who will celebrate his 30 years Wednesday, March 24.
