Do you have a sporting background?

I started as a football player at around 10 years of age. Played for multiple years and reached national team level before I had to stop due to an injury. 

When, how and why did you start training CrossFit?

I started to practice crossfit little over 2 years ago as a way to get in shape after a longer period of playing football. I accidently stumbled upon a video of Rich Froning and thought "Eh… What the heck, let’s give it a go".

What are your goals in CrossFit?

Short termed: Regionals 2017. Long termed: The Games.

What do you do when you are not training and competing?

The little time outside of the gym I spend with my girlfriend and family.

What does a typical training week look like?

6 days of training every week, consisting of 3 training sessions a day. 

What is your main CrossFit success?

I haven’t been doing the sport for too long, but I was quite happy with my 58th overall finish in the European Open.

Do you have any role model in the sport?

Not really. 

Why will you succeed?

I’m lucky to be surrounded by great people that have taught me well. Failure is not an option. Not now, not ever.

What do you like best CLN Athletics products?

I’m not really a fashionista. All I really care about is how the clothes feel. With that being said, CLN has some of the most comfy clothes I’ve ever tried. The fact that they also look good is just a plus! 

What are your favorite products from CLN?

I'm a big fan of the shorts. They’re comfy, made of good material and overall really good looking.
