Dear visitor,

Thank you for visiting my website. I am plan to update my website regularly this season to share as quickly as possible all of my latest news such as competition results, press releases, photos etc.....

My most important objective is to represent the Netherlands at the 2014 Olympic games. I was well on the way to this during the 2009/2010 season but during 2010/2011 several injuries delayed my progress. However, I have now recovered completely and am in full training for the coming season.

I am now 18 and up until now have participated in all the major finals - European Championships, World Championships and Junior Worlds. This followed becoming Dutch Champion 4 times so far - Novice in 2007, Junior in 2008 and Senior in 2009 & 2010.

During the period leading up to the 2014 Olympics I want to become fully integrated into the European and World top skating environment. This is not so easy for me, as there is very little support to achieve this goal. Ice hours, coaching and training times must all be self-managed and financed. As is the case with many other sports our Federation, the KNSB, has no professional support team to lead us to the top levels of sport. We do our best, by looking at training schemes followed by top skaters in other countries, to put together effective training programmes. As well as ice training we track all other types of training - fitness, conditioning, ballet, dance, jump training, pilatus and stretching.

I look forward to a fun and successful season in 2011/2012 and would like to thank everyone; sponsors & official supporters, parents, family and friends, and above all my trainer, Corrie Broweleit for all your support
