Triathlon

I'm always looking to challenge myself and I constantly want to push my own boundaries and break my own records. Being involved in sport is a must and gives you a healthy mind. As an Etixx ambassador, I try to get that message across and encourage people to start exercising. The Etixx products provide that extra boost to deal with training sessions and to help get my body in top condition and maintain it.

Padel and running

Hi, I am a Ghent alumni Sports Management at UGent, and now work as CEO of Padel Kiosk. Besides padel trainer, animator and board (Kazou and Route du Soleil) and volunteer at Red Cross-Ghent, I am above all an avid sportsman. After competitive swimming and football, I set my sights on padel and extreme challenges: Gran Fondo Marmottes Alpes, 100km running, Marathon des Sables, swimming the Dover-Calais Canal, etc.
