Power
"I am thrilled to be part of this group. As a subspecialty, sports cardiology is small, but in my opinion, indispensable. The heart is the pump that drives everything. It symbolizes the power of every athlete."
Ambition
"I only see us growing, getting better and learning from each other. And I see all these young talents rising and coming along in the wake of this collaboration and being inspired. I have ambitions for the future, but I'm sure there will be ten more people behind me with other wonderful ambitions. I'm already looking forward to that."
Collaborate
"Our group includes many world-renowned physicians and scientists, while sports cardiology is still a young subspecialty. Because of all the experiences shared with us and all the tips, we have raised sports cardiology to a very high level in a short time. We are now the place in the Netherlands for athletes with a heart problem. The network has allowed me to develop something that I am extremely passionate about."
Proud
"I am very proud that sports cardiology has become part of this collaboration and that I get to sit at the table with all these people who are the best in their field. Everything we offer, from injury treatment and prevention to sports event counselling and imaging, is one of the most complete palettes imaginable."
Future
"The experiences we have gained in the Netherlands with top sport and grassroots sport, we take with us to go out into the world. By seeking international cooperation and setting up studies, we can further improve athletes' care with a heart problem."
