Nominated by/Nommé par :
-Anna Powick, with the rest of the 420 race team

🔊🔊🔊
"Thomas's coaching style, and his passion for sailing, made that year the best I had ever had at sailing camp, and when I found out he was going to be the 420 race team coach this year, I knew I wanted to come back."

"He found boats for us to train with and it was still a super great experience, even though we were the only 420 from our club there."

"He encouraged one injured athlete to come out on the coachboat with him, as well as help out and coach the younger programs."

"He really encouraged her to come out of her shell and be more confident and assertive, both on the race course and on land."

"During Covid, when I wanted to quit sailing altogether, Coach Fede kept hounding me to stick to it."

"Everytime I have a problem with my boat, with logistics, or with my own motivation or attitude: Fede is there."

"Coach Fede is someone I look up to."

"He has taught me perseverance and dedication to the sport pays off."

"I can rely on him to give me the right direction both in sailing and navigating through my next steps."

"He spent the time this summer to test out all available boat classes to help me find what boat fits the best for me."

"He pushed me to new boundaries I didn’t know existed. He taught me valuable life lessons and picked me up when I was down."

"He is kind but also very tough."

"Sailing with Fede has been a safe space for (my kid) to grow developmentally, emotionally and athletically."

"Fede is compassionate, he thinks about how to make each kid better."

"He balances being competitive with kids becoming lifelong sailors and puts hour and hours into making the sport fun for the kids."

"He goes above and beyond with the kids to encourage their love for the sport."
