A coach with development at the centre.

My aim as a coach is not only to improve volleyball skills but to help athletes make decisions independently. I build demanding, enjoyable, game-like practices around frequent ball contacts, clear learning objectives and the freedom to make mistakes.

My experience spans regional talent development, senior competition, TeamNL U18 beach volleyball and coach education. As head coach of Sliedrecht Sport Women 2, I develop young players towards the Dutch Eredivisie. I also coached VOLEVO Women 1 and VollinGo Men 1 to promotion.

I believe team culture is shaped at every practice. Trust and enjoyment belong alongside clear standards and responsibility. Along with technique and tactics, I pay attention to communication, team roles and decision-making under pressure.

I hold a VT4 coaching qualification and studied Physical Education and Sport at the West University of Timișoara. I also teach coaches through Nevobo programmes. My earlier football experience helps me connect ideas from different sports; in 2026 I co-delivered a game-based learning workshop with a KNVB colleague.
