I started swimming when I was only 3 years old. Since then perserverance, sacrfice and ambition have been the key to my success and mark me the way to act and thnik. Howecer,I am not only a swimmer, i am a Biologist too (speciality pharmeceutical industry) that is why I see the importance of supplementory feeding in sports preparation. I have been working together with Etixx for mny years. They have accompanied me to great championships (Rio 2016) but also to personal challenges such as Camino de Santiago. Finally, I concluded that sumplementory feeding is esencial for succes.
Swimming

I use many etixx products for different propouses during my preparation. For the strengh trainnig I use High Protein Shake and Creatine Creapure. To recover well from VO2 max training I use Recovery Shake PRO LINE.

The covid era has taugh me that where and when isn´t important. What really matters is to be ready in every moment wherever it takes is.
Athletics
I am Stijn Fincioen and I have been doing athletics for over 25 years now. In addition to being an athlete, I am also a ‘Trainer A’ [top-level trainer] for middle distance/long distance. I now pass on my experience and knowledge to my athletes at Olympic Brugge and the West-Vlaamse Alliantie (WVA) I was already there when Etixx was launched and I feel particularly good with these products. They provide good support alongside my daily diet. In 2019, I became an Etixx ambassador. I am happy that, as an ambassador, I can share my experiences with other athletes so that they can prepare themselves optimally according to their personal goals.
