My convinction for choosing Etixx as sports nutrition partner

Etixx offers a very wide range of products that are essential for optimizing an athlete's performance! They are high-quality products and there is no risk of banned substances.

 

My favorite Etixx products

Recovery Shake: a very interesting protein ratio, a delicious taste, perfect to supplement protein immediately after exercise and to optimize recovery.

Isotonic Drink (red fruits): non-chemical flavor, interesting drink for carbohydrate intake during training efforts when I do a long effort.

Oat Bar (caramel): delicious! Perfect if you need a snack to go!

All supplements (vitamins, magnesium, iron, etc.) that are essential for the athlete without deficiencies. Great composition!

Triathlon

I am Jelle Geens, and I participate in triathlon. I am the first and still the only Belgian to ever win a World Triathlon Championship Series. Of the three disciplines, my favorite is running, especially long-distance tempo runs.

Table tennis

I am a motivated person who likes to keep busy, you can usually find me with a full diary and a smile on my face. I became an ambassador for Etixx this year, but I have been using the products for much longer. I often suffer from energy dips and I have found the solution to this in Etixx’s products, including the Sport Gummies and the Energy Sport Bars. But, looking forward to the Recovery products afterwards can also increase motivation during training. The Etixx ambassadors team is a great group and I am proud to be a part of it!

Bobsleigh

After a (youth) career in athletics, I switched to the Belgian bobsleigh team. After a few years, I retrained from brakewoman to pilot, while also completing my Masters in physiotherapy. In 2015, I was employed part-time by Sport Flanders as pilot and I am now about to start my 10th bobsleigh season. Qualifying for the Olympic Winter Games in 2018 was an amazing feeling and made me dream of doing more in 2022, in Beijing. I now practise my sport full time, while also being a proud Godmother to my nephew, the apple of my eye. I am very proud to be part of the Etixx ambassadors team, a super-talented and motivated group of athletes and sports enthusiasts. Being supported by such a professional company with good-quality, clean products gives me an extra push to achieve my dream of a top result in Beijing 2022!
