Coach Bio

I provide personalized triathlon coaching for athletes of all levels, from first-time finishers to experienced competitors pursuing high-performance goals.

I am based in Alphen aan de Rijn, The Netherlands.

My coaching philosophy is built around the belief that every athlete is unique. There are no standard training plans or fixed methods—each program is tailored to the athlete’s goals, abilities, lifestyle, and available time. Training is data-driven, results-focused, and designed to fit into a busy, active life while supporting long-term development.

I bring extensive experience across endurance sports. I am a long-time competitive swimmer, rowing coach, and sailing instructor, with years of racing experience from dinghies to high-performance crewed yachts at both national and international levels. I have been racing triathlon since 2016, with experience ranging from junior competition to IRONMAN events. My academic background in Medical Biology, Engineering, Applied Science, and Quality Management provides a strong technical and analytical foundation for my coaching.

In addition to working with individual athletes, I coach at local triathlon and swim clubs and regularly lead swim, bike, and run clinics, as well as freestyle crawl courses. I work with athletes of all levels, whether preparing for a first mini triathlon, aiming for a marathon personal best, or fine-tuning Ironman performance.

My approach combines structure, feedback, motivation, and close personal commitment. I understand the doubts, setbacks, and challenges that come with endurance sports, and I use that experience to guide athletes confidently toward their sporting goals.
