Training for the top
The Laser class is competitive, and good results require serious training. After leaving the Optimist class, I started training with the Laser class Organization of the Netherlands, with Ronald van Vianen as chief trainer and coach. After that, I attended the Dutch National Team. At the beginning of 2018, I left and started working with multiple Olympic coach Ronald van Vianen in his ProSails team. Since then we have made big steps and it is going very well.
In order to remain in good physical condition I cycle 20 kilometers per day to school. Besides, I do daily workouts aimed at improving core stability and muscle strength. Sailing is a highly tactical sport, and I like studying weather conditions and race tactics. |
