Meet the Guest-Next Chapter: Tom Armstrong

The Coach Robb Podcast - The People's Podcast

Tom Armstrong’s transition from the high-stakes world of motocross to being the drummer of Car Sick highlights his remarkable discipline and adaptability. On this episode of *Meet the Guests*, I had the privilege of diving into Tom’s journey, from his early motocross career to his growing success in music. Watching Tom compete in the British Motocross Championship was witnessing an athlete at his peak, but his creativity truly flourished as he returned to music after injuries brought his racing career to an end. What started as a casual project became a full-fledged pursuit, with Car Sick making waves on platforms like Spotify and Instagram. Tom’s story reflects how passion and determination can redefine success, even after life’s unexpected turns.
During our conversation, Tom shared how the teamwork required in a band parallels the collaborative spirit of motocross. Whether navigating the physical demands of racing or the creative dynamics of his band, Tom’s competitive mindset fuels his drive for excellence. He opened up about the challenges he faced—losing a close friend, enduring injuries, and redefining his purpose—all of which strengthened his resolve. Life on the road with Car Sick, from recording new music to performing for thousands across Europe, has its own set of pressures, much like motocross. Yet, Tom’s ability to channel his focus and embrace the rhythm of each moment keeps him grounded.
What stood out most was Tom’s appreciation for the support system around him—his family, bandmates, and fans. From his father’s unwavering encouragement to the collective efforts behind their EP productions, Tom emphasized the value of shared responsibility and collaboration. Whether it’s the precision of a drumbeat or the thrill of a motocross lap, Tom’s journey shows how discipline, creativity, and perseverance can lead to extraordinary achievements. His story inspires us to stay rooted in our passions while striving for greatness, wherever our paths may take us.
