What characterises you as an athlete?
“From a young age I have been very driven to improve. In the past I was mainly a striker and wanted to score as many goals as possible. In recent years I have increasingly developed into a team player, paying close attention to what my teammates need to perform well.”
How do you ensure you have a good lifestyle?
“For me it is especially important to listen to my body. As an athlete you always want to train more to become stronger, faster and better, but recovery is just as important. That is why, together with my coach, I keep a close eye on my training load and how my body responds to it.”
What do you like so much about Korfball?
“I especially love the dynamics and the teamwork. You constantly have to connect with each other and communicate well. The fact that you play together with boys and girls also makes korfball unique. And of course, scoring goals remains one of the most enjoyable things for me.”
How do the braces help you?
“My playing style demands a lot of freedom of movement: I run a lot, decelerate, accelerate and frequently change direction. The Push Sports Ankle Brace Kicx gives me the support and stability I need without holding me back. This allows me to keep moving freely while the brace also gives me confidence when the load on my ankle increases.”
