Thomas Haitsma

My name is Thomas Haitsma, and I am the starting lacrosse goalie for the Men's Dutch national team. With over 15 years of experience in lacrosse and the past 7 years on the national team, I have had the honor of competing in 2 World Championships and 1 European qualifier. As lacrosse prepares for its debut in the 2028 Olympics in LA, I am dedicated to intense training and relentless pursuit of excellence to secure my spot and represent the Netherlands on this historic stage. My journey is driven by a passion for the sport and an unwavering commitment to being the best athlete I can be.

Clémence Beretta

Athletics (Heptathlon)

My name is Clémence Beretta, and I'm a professional athlete specialising in the 20 km race walk. I train once or twice a day, guided by a strong philosophy: focusing on the process rather than the outcome, while staying aligned in mind, heart, and body. Over the years and through 16 selections for the French national team, my approach has evolved significantly. I’ve developed a deep awareness of my body and sensations, prioritising my mental well-being and personal balance over an obsession with the stopwatch.
