Lacrosse

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.

Athletics (All-Around)

I am an athlete who is not easily satisfied with a performance. I always want to do better than the previous race and keep improving my personal records. I like to learn quickly. Sometimes I try to imitate or learn a technique by watching other athletes. I am very motivated during training and I don't give up easily, but sometimes I dare to let my head hang down when things don't go as I had hoped. I am always open to humour and jokes on and off the slopes.

Athletics

Soy solo una chica que se enamoró de correr hace unos años. Disfruto mucho de mi trabajo y me encanta compartirlo con las personas más increíbles, mis compañeros de equipo. Me gusta empujarme a mis límites y ver de lo que soy capaz. También soy bastante competitiva y siempre doy lo mejor de mí cuando compito. Además de correr, también me encanta el café, el sol, un buen libro, vestirme bien, hacer crochet y, por supuesto, divertirme con mis amigos.
