I was on the fast track to my dream job doing what I loved when like many athletes before me all I worked for was taken away in a flash. One day in Holland while playing soccer (or Voetbal as the Dutch say) my foot got trapped in a patch of ice on the pitch as two opponents collided with me, severing every ligament in my knee, some in my ankle and severely stretching what was still connected. I went to sports therapists, surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors and many other specialists, hoping for good news—but everyone came to the same conclusion, that I would never walk again. Pushing me to what they felt would be the best option, surgery with low or assisted mobility afterward.

 

   After refusing surgery I was determined to play soccer again so I created my own program. Within six months I was walking, nine months I was jogging, and two years later I returned to my former club in Holland. After playing for a season with them I decided to quit the sport I cherished to help people who had similar experiences. That eventually led me to general fitness training.

   I am here to build up my clients not only while they are with me but for a lifetime of healthy, happy memories so they can put the past in the past and see what lies ahead. We all have greatness inside of us, are you ready to find it?
