Sport has always been part of my life. Growing up with a father who trained for marathons, I developed a passion for running from an early age. Over time, that passion evolved into competing in the 800 metres, a discipline I love because it combines speed, strength and endurance in one of athletics' most demanding events.

Alongside building VP, I study Human Movement and Technology at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Every coaching decision is grounded in biomechanics and exercise physiology, never guesswork. That is the difference between a generic training plan and a programme designed to deliver real, lasting progress.

I started VP because I believe training should be purposeful, efficient and built around the individual. Too many people train without a clear plan, train more than necessary and struggle to balance exercise with work, family and life. My role is simple: to take your training off your plate, so you can focus on performing at your best while I take care of the planning.
