Achievements
Tom is an expert in goal-setting. In his highschool years, he failed his first attempts at volleyball. Determined to make the local team, he found things he could work on and have mastered for the next try. Tom later became part of the Canadian Olympic volleyball team from 1975-1979 and gained a PhD through Kinesiology. He then started coaching the University of Victoria's women's team, then helped Saskatchewan provincial teams and the U of S volleyball team attend four national championships.
Graham has also done research on teenage athletes and more effective ways to coach them.
