Pursuit of better: Thomas Ramos
Early in Thomas Ramos' career, better meant proving he belonged. When he arrived at Stade Toulousain, the message was clear: you are here to be the best. That expectation shaped his approach from the beginning and continues to drive him today.
Thomas has established himself as one of the most influential backs in world rugby and is widely regarded as one of the game's most accurate goal kickers, maintaining an extraordinary success rate of close to 90 per cent. That level of consistency reflects the precision, discipline and composure that define his approach both on and off the pitch. Known for his calmness under pressure and willingness to take initiative, he plays with a style built on confidence, creativity and enjoyment.
As his career has progressed, physical preparation has become more important than ever. Thomas understands that elite rugby seasons are long and increasingly demanding, making pre-season a critical period to build strength, stay robust and prepare for the intensity of domestic and international competition.
Professional rugby requires far more than natural talent. It demands resilience, consistency and the ability to recover and perform week after week. Behind every successful kick, decisive counter-attack and high-pressure moment is a foundation of disciplined training and years of structured preparation.
Thomas approaches improvement with the same mindset that has guided him since the start of his career. Train to be the best. Stay strong. Keep evolving. Most importantly, enjoy the process.
Despite his achievements, Thomas remains grounded. He credits his character and the people around him for keeping him focused on what matters. He recognises the privilege of doing what he loves every day and does not take that opportunity for granted.
For Thomas Ramos, the pursuit of better is about more than performance. It is about embracing high standards, preparing with intent and finding joy in the work required to compete at the very top of the game.
This is Thomas Ramos Pursuit of Better.

"For Powerbase, we aimed to collaborate with specialists in various areas, and BLK BOX emerged as the clear choice in the tender process for several reasons. Their extensive expertise in the performance market, coupled with their ability to glean insights from their work in other sectors, greatly benefits us.
While we were confident in our needs for the facility, partnering with a team that offered solutions and an agile engineering approach proved pivotal. We have tangible examples of innovation and collaboration in this facility, such as tailored accessible storage solutions designed to accommodate the mezzanine's pillars.”
