I love seeing riders get stronger — and I genuinely enjoy building a training schedule that fits.

No two riders are the same, so neither are their schedules. Working out what this particular rider needs, right now, towards this goal: that puzzle is the best part of the job for me.

why I do this —

Watching someone get stronger gives me satisfaction

I like helping people — making a cyclist better at their sport. Watching someone get stronger step by step, and the journey towards their goal: that gives me satisfaction. It's also one of the reasons I became a physician.

I've always genuinely enjoyed training myself, whether it was to improve my fitness or for a race. The build, the feeling it's heading somewhere, the week it all clicks. That's what I want to take riders along in.

As a physician I have solid knowledge of the human body, and as a coach I put that knowledge to work.

what I bring —

What makes my schedules different

I know how a body works

I'm a physician. What a training stimulus does inside your body, why recovery works and when healthy load tips into overload: I know that from my medical background, and I use it for the schedules I make.

Experienced with data

I've done a lot of clinical scientific research myself and I'm experienced in data analysis and interpretation. I look beyond the numbers: I understand what they say, and whether your training moves you towards your goal.

Listening to the person

I learned to listen in the consulting room: not just to the complaint, but to the person behind it. I do the same as a coach. What you feel, how you sleep, what happened that week: it counts just as much as your power.

On the bike myself

I rode plenty of club races myself, mostly at WV Amsterdam. I know what it's like to train alongside an ordinary life — and what it does when a race finally clicks.

A team to the NCK

For WV Amsterdam I ran the training towards the NCK, the Dutch club team time-trial championship, several times. Coaching, and building a team based on form, is nothing new to me.

how I stay up to date —

The latest science, judged on its merits

I follow the latest insights in training theory closely and weave them into your schedule where useful: periodisation, new training forms, recovery. And thanks to my medical background and research experience I can genuinely judge those studies on their merits — not every hype is progress.
