Personal vision:
“Enjoy your lessons, it is a journey. Do not compare yourself to others, simply celebrate your own accomplishments and help others celebrate theirs.”
Profile:
Having grown up in the heat of East Africa, swimming was the only
sport that didn’t leave you overheated. I joined the school swim team
there and continued swimming at the student swimming association when I moved to Leiden.
Apart from teaching swimming and doing lots of swimming myself I study International Studies at Leiden University.
Coaching Style:
As both a swimmer and coach, I have had the most success by implementing fun and creative techniques.
I think the best way to learn and have fun is to trust your coach and trust your swimmer.
Specialities:
To combine teaching with fun and my experience as a swimmer before becoming a coach.
