It first started as a nice idea, but it has grown to a beautiful large project.
On Sunday, March 31, the taekwondo shoot took place in the Powerhouse 040 space. The goal was to shoot a story of how we as taekwondo athletes experience the sport from the inside and outside. This has been taken to a higher level by enthusiastic sponsors. In collaboration with 3 athletes from the National selection (me, Joep and Ceyhun), 3 videographers (Tom, Emiel and Rob), photographer Harry (NihonSport) and Powerhouse who facilitated the space, we made it a successful shoot. NihonSport also provided us with the necessary equipment that allowed us to shine even better on screen. Rob brought his drone which resulted in great videos. The video is online visible through this link in which we attempt to portray Taekwondo from different perspectives with input from our personal experiences.
Keep an eye on the socials! In the meanwhile, enjoy the small edits of the shoots!

This year, I once again had the opportunity to give an inspiring workshop to the students of VSO De Pyler. The theme of their project was "health and nutrition," and as an elite athlete, I was able to share my experiences and insights with them. In addition to the presentation, I also led two taekwondo clinics.
It was wonderful to inspire the students through sports, but the experience was even more valuable because I was able to contribute to raising awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition and sufficient exercise together form the foundation for a healthy future. What a wonderful experience to share my passion for sports and health in this way!
Thank you, Oscar Smeets, for helping to make this possible!

Yesterday, I officially received my Bachelors Degree in Laws (LL.B.). Despite having had my diploma since January, this ceremony felt like a special occasion to reflect on everything I have achieved. It was a day full of pride and joy, and I look forward to what the future will bring me!
