Polestar Imagery Features NFL Star Solomon Thomas
In a world where many choose to focus on a single passion, NFL player Solomon Thomas stands out. The defensive lineman for the San Francisco 49ers has a unique blend of interests, balancing his love for professional football with a deep-rooted passion for theatre.
Thomas finds solace in his car, using deep breaths to release anxieties and prepare for the present moment, whether that's stepping onto the football field or stepping into a Broadway show. His trusted companion in this journey is the Polestar 3 electric SUV, developed by Polestar Automotive - a Swedish automotive brand jointly owned by Volvo Car Group and Geely Holding.
The Polestar 3 offers more than just a means of transportation. It provides a unique in-car listening experience, thanks to Abbey Road Studios Mode. This innovative feature, co-developed by Abbey Road and Bowers & Wilkins, transforms the soundscape within the vehicle, offering an immersive audio experience. Two tracks by an up-and-coming jazz star were reimagined in Studio Two, a legendary room where the Beatles recorded some of their most iconic music.
Thomas's love for theatre was rekindled during his time in New York, a city synonymous with performing arts and a cornerstone of American cultural heritage. Broadway, in particular, has become a symbol of this vibrant scene. Thomas has seen the hit musical MJ five times (and counting), and even brought his teammates along to share in the experience.
The Polestar portraits series, available on the company's YouTube channel, invites individuals like Thomas into their world and distinctive approach to life. The series showcases performance, well-being, and creativity in perfect balance, featuring diverse individuals such as professional cyclist Demi Vollering and American basketball player Kevin Love.
Thomas's journey is a testament to the power of embracing multiple passions. He believes that football reveals his character and teaches him about himself, while his love for theatre has helped him understand the mental side of football. He uses his time in the Polestar 3 for recovery and transitioning between mindsets, whether that's being a good partner or being the best teammate.
Thomas's story is a reminder that it's possible to pursue multiple dreams, even when they seem to conflict. With the Polestar 3's range sufficient to connect his passions, he no longer has to choose between them. Instead, he can focus on uplifting his teammates and reminding them to focus on the present moment, just as he does for himself.
