testimonials

“Tom is absolutely fantastic! I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both his professional presentations and comedy shows, and find him to be hilarious, authentic, and incredibly engaging. Tom’s straightforward style, energy, and sense of humor make him someone you won’t forget—and definitely someone you’ll want to see again!”

— Gail Hartig, 2027 IAHPERD President

“Tom Filline absolutely crushed it as the opening keynoter at the 2026 National PE Institute... One of the most energizing, laugh-out-loud, and genuinely inspiring starts to a professional development event I’ve ever experienced. From the moment he stepped on stage as ‘The Angry Gym Teacher,’ Tom had the entire room hooked. 

Tom didn’t just keynote—he recharged the entire conference. If you’re in PE, health, or education and get the chance to see him speak (or follow him online), jump on it. He’s the real deal: funny, relatable, and deeply committed to the field… Can’t wait to see what he does next!”

— Artie Kamiya, NC SHAPE Co-Executive Director

“Our teachers consistently said Tom was the highlight of the institute. As they were leaving his sessions, I heard several comments like, "I really needed this," which speaks to how impactful and encouraging his presentations were. With the school year about to begin, his message was exactly what our educators needed. I would highly recommend Tom to any school or organization looking to energize and support educators.”
