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.

Jeroen de Haas

(Gravel) cycling

I'm Jeroen de Haas, born in 1972 and based in Rotterdam. Cycling is my greatest passion, and through my website WebHaaZ.nl, I love sharing stories from the road, gear reviews, and my personal adventures on the bike, on foot, and on skis. I've been a lifelong rider — I started cycling at the age of seven with R.W.C. Ahoy. In 2009, I returned to the sport and took on the challenge of Alpe d’HuZes to raise money for cancer research. Outside of sports, I work in specialized laboratory software and frequently travel across Europe. For me, authenticity always comes before sponsorships. My motto? “Quitting is never an option!”
