Club / Team | Team Reggeborgh: Netherlands | |
Reason for choosing this sport | His first recollection of skating was of watching Dutch speed skater Rintje Ritsma compete in a World Cup race on television. He took up the sport because he enjoyed the movement and the feeling of it. | |
Name of coach | Gerard Van Velde [club], NED | |
When and where did you begin this sport? | He began skating at age seven on a course in Leiden, Netherlands. |
Other information | SPEED RECORD In March 2018 he set a record for the fastest speed achieved on ice skates in Lulea, Sweden. He reached a top speed of 93kph on a 1500m-long natural ice track, protected from winds by a front-runner car with an air shield. "It was a pretty weird experience. It was like I was flying on the ice. My performance is a team effort, because more than 40 people were involved in the preparation. I am almost as thrilled as I was at the Olympic Games." (lequipe.fr, 29 Mar 2018) SPORTS PSYCHOLOGIST After missing out on selection for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, he began seeing a sports psychologist. Prior to this he says he was easily affected by factors out of his control, such as an ice resurfacer coming on just before his race. Through the psychologist he has learned to adjust his mental approach, and has implemented techniques such as breathing exercises, counting heartbeats and writing things down to cope with stress. "I am convinced that it works for me." (nsl.nl, 30 Dec 2017; nos.nl, 18 Oct 2017) |
