Thomas gave a really good and inspiring talk for our students. I believe the students could see themselves in Thomas’ stories and came away with a strong sense that you can go far by following your dreams, and that the right path is not always the most obvious one. Thomas spoke with great energy and made the talk genuinely exciting. The presentation was very well adapted to the target audience.

From world record holder to international specialist

Thomas Grønnemark has built an extraordinary career. He was a professional bobsleigh athlete on the Danish national team, and in 2010 he set an official Guinness World Record for the longest throw-in with a distance of 51.33 metres.

Today, many know Thomas as the world's leading throw-in coach in international top-level football. He has worked with some of the biggest clubs in the world, including Liverpool FC, Arsenal, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund, and has been part of 18 international titles, including the Champions League and Premier League.

Yet the results are only part of the story. Thomas created a profession that people did not believe existed.

Author of “Doven Energi” and “Langtidsmodig”

Thomas is also the author of the books “Doven Energi” and “Langtidsmodig”.

In “Doven Energi”, Thomas introduces the concept of intelligent laziness: the idea of achieving results without losing energy, enthusiasm and job satisfaction along the way. The book has inspired many people to take a more conscious approach to wellbeing and motivation and to consider how they use their energy in everyday life.

In “Langtidsmodig”, Thomas focuses on having the courage to pursue ideas and dreams over the long term. The book draws on his own experiences of creating a career outside traditional frameworks and demonstrates how persistence and innovative thinking can lead to extraordinary results.

These ideas are closely connected to Thomas' own journey. His career has taken him from bobsleigh and a Guinness World Record to creating his own profession and working at the highest level of international football. It gives him a wealth of personal stories and experiences that make his messages concrete, relatable and easy to remember.

Relevant and well delivered. The students were very engaged afterwards and eager to buy his book and get an autograph, which is a clear sign to me that it was interesting and relevant to them.

It was a really good talk, where you captured the students with your manner, your commitment to the talk and your message. You reached everyone – even those sitting in the back row were listening.

A great ability to incorporate knowledge about our values into his talk. Thomas clearly came well prepared, with a plan for what he wanted us to achieve. We have received very positive feedback, and Thomas certainly lived up to our high expectations.

Viggo Nielsen Region Hovedstadens Apotek

If you want to inspire your students and give them courage in life, book Thomas Grønnemark. The talk is nothing short of fantastic – exciting, fast-paced, entertaining and highly inspiring, encouraging students to pursue their dreams and approach life with courage. Thomas manages to engage the room, making the students curious and attentive. There is a great balance between funny anecdotes, great video clips and useful points that students can apply to the talk and to the backpack filled with “tools” they carry with them as they dream big – without losing sight of what is realistic in life. The students are still talking about the inspiring life Thomas shared with us, and it has also sparked conversations within families and among siblings.

Keynotes

Keynote by Thomas Grønnemark:

STRENGTHEN YOUR STRENGTHS

What businesses can learn from a world-class throw-in coach

For five years, Thomas Grønnemark worked closely with Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool FC, contributing as a specialist throw-in coach to one of Europe’s most successful football teams. But his approach to performance was shaped long before that – including through bobsleigh and his collaboration with the German Bobsleigh and Luge Federation, where he discovered how even the smallest details can make a remarkable difference at the highest level.

This keynote is not really about football or bobsleigh. It is about a powerful question for any organization:

What are you already good at – and what could happen if you became even better at it?

Through personal stories, surprising examples and experiences from international elite sport, Thomas explores how people, teams and organizations can identify their strengths and develop them into genuine competitive advantages.

Audiences will discover:

Why extraordinary results often begin with small details
How strong relationships and mutual trust create new opportunities
Why sharing knowledge makes both individuals and teams stronger
How specialization can become a competitive advantage
Why continuous improvement is essential for long-term success

Thomas combines lessons from world-class sport with insights that can be applied directly to business and organizational life.

Delivered with his authentic Danish style and plenty of humor, Strengthen Your Strengths is an inspiring keynote about collaboration, courage and the power of becoming even better at what you already do well.

Keynote by Thomas Grønnemark:

LOOK – FLIP – THROW

See opportunities. Change perspective. Turn ideas into action.

Thomas Grønnemark is internationally known as a specialist throw-in coach who has worked with some of the world’s biggest football clubs. But his unconventional way of thinking has also been shaped by bobsleigh, collaboration with the German Bobsleigh and Luge Federation, and his own world-record attempt in throw-ins.

Across these very different worlds, one mindset keeps returning:

LOOK – See what others overlook.
Opportunities are often already there. The challenge is noticing the details, possibilities and potential that others fail to see.

FLIP – Change the perspective.
Once you see an opportunity, you need the courage to challenge conventional thinking, question habits and look at problems from a different angle.

THROW – Turn thinking into action.
An idea only creates value when something happens. Experiment, act and bring the idea to life.

Thomas transforms his experiences and tools from elite sport into practical insights for business, helping audiences make better decisions, discover new opportunities and turn ideas into results.

LOOK – FLIP – THROW takes audiences on a journey from seeing → to thinking differently → to acting → to creating results.

This is not a keynote about football, bobsleigh or world records. It is about seeing what others overlook, challenging the conventional – and having the courage to do something with it.

BET SMALL. WIN BIG.

How small, smart bets can create extraordinary results

Success is not about taking as many risks as possible. It is about understanding which risks are worth taking – and which are not.

As a specialist throw-in coach working at the highest level of international football, Thomas Grønnemark developed a simple Risk–Reward Model for evaluating decisions:

Low Risk – Low Reward
Low Risk – High Reward
High Risk – Low Reward
High Risk – High Reward

The principle is simple: avoid High Risk – Low Reward situations – and become much better at identifying the overlooked opportunities where the downside is small but the potential upside is significant.

The same thinking applies far beyond football.

Organizations often focus on major initiatives, large investments and big strategic decisions. But extraordinary results can also come from smaller actions, experiments and improvements that require limited resources while offering significant potential value.

Small bets. Limited downside. Significant potential upside.

Through stories from international football and relatable examples from business and everyday life, Thomas challenges audiences to ask:

Where are we taking risks that simply are not worth it? Which bigger bets might actually justify the risk? And where are the Low Risk – High Reward opportunities that we have not yet noticed?

Bet Small. Win Big. gives audiences a simple and practical framework for thinking differently about risk, reward and opportunity.

The goal is not to take more risks.
It is to choose your bets more intelligently.
