High Level Coaching Experience

I'm experienced in coaching athletes in different endurance sports. Mostly, I coach (cross) triathletes on different levels, from recreational doing their first triathlon until elite level. Besides coaching athletes I coach coaches as well in order to be a better trainer/coach. And I give group sessions in swimming, cycling & mountain biking and (trail) running. At last, besides this work, I work as a teacher for general practitioners (teaching them communication and healthy lifestyle).

Philosophy

I like to know the athlete well. Not only the sports perspective, but also as a person. In that way I can coach in a holistic way while balancing between personal life, work/study and sport. Diving into the sport I am process oriented with focus on the combination between technique, physic and tactic. For my own development as a coach I like to work in a team of coaches where I can discuss case studies from athletes to help you and me further. For now, I'm still fit to train a lot by myself. That helps me in creating new types of training sessions and practice them first before I schedule it for other athletes.
