Kim Colpaert

Field Hockey

I am the type of athlete who thrives on training, embracing even the toughest physical sessions with a positive mindset. I see every challenge as an investment in my future success, knowing that each effort brings me closer to my goals. Beyond my individual training, I have a deep passion for collective sports, where teamwork and shared experiences create unforgettable moments. Whether pushing my limits solo or connecting with others in a team setting, I find joy and purpose in every aspect of my athletic journey.

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.

Running, mountain biking, fitness and swimming

Over the past eight years, I have learned a lot from my experiences with running, both what works and what doesn’t. These experiences have allowed me to listen to my body. Due to my PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), sports have become an important outlet for me. At the same time, I try to help as many people as possible by giving them advice, so that they can also benefit from what I have learned.
