- As an athlete, I have won multiple medals at the national championships, including a gold medal at the national championship 3000m indoor in 2017.
- As an applied sport scientist, I have written multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications about a variety of sport science topics. I am particularly interested in doing research related to running injury prevention and performance enhancement. My goal is also to apply this research into practice and combine this with my experience as a professional athlete and coach to help people improve their performance and prevent injuries. I also have a particular interest in technology and its application in sports and health.
- As a strength and conditioning specialist I have trained individuals ranging from the elite to recreational level. I do have a special interest in sports that involve running.
Background
I have done a bachelor in applied sport sciences at Fontys University (2014) and a master Human Movement Sciences at Maastricht University (2016). In 2024 I obtained my PhD at Maastricht University on the topic "Injury prevention and performance enhancement in runners". I am currently working as an ass. Professor at the same university. Because of my background in applied sport sciences and my experience as an athlete and strength and conditioning specialist I developed a good understanding of practical issues. According to others I can therefore translate theoretical concepts very well into practical applications. Although some of my peer-reviewed publications include fundamental topics, I make sure to always discuss the practical applications of the findings.
