Stijn Fincioen

I am Stijn Fincioen and I have been doing athletics for over 25 years now. In addition to being an athlete, I am also a ‘Trainer A’ [top-level trainer] for middle distance/long distance. I now pass on my experience and knowledge to my athletes at Olympic Brugge and the West-Vlaamse Alliantie (WVA) I was already there when Etixx was launched and I feel particularly good with these products. They provide good support alongside my daily diet. In 2019, I became an Etixx ambassador. I am happy that, as an ambassador, I can share my experiences with other athletes so that they can prepare themselves optimally according to their personal goals.

"Dream Believe Achieve"

My favourite Etixx products

The Etixx Isotonic thirst-quencher is my fuel during long training sessions and competitions. I always use the Recovery Shake PRO LINE after strenuous training sessions, longer endurance training sessions and competitions. The Etixx Sport Hydro Tab is fantastic when training in hot conditions, because that is when I lose a lot of fluid. I also use the new health supplement Collagen Complex in course form for my weak tendons, which have a lot to contend with during my many training sessions and competitions.

Atletismo - Salto con pértiga

Soy Fleur, 23 años, saltadora de pértiga y estudiante de fisioterapia. Practico el atletismo desde los 6 años. A los 15 me especialicé en salto con pértiga. El deporte es mi afición y mi pasión. Soy un animal competitivo, me encanta superar mis límites físicos y me mueve alcanzar mis metas. Además de en la pista de atletismo, también puedes encontrarme entre mis libros de texto, sobre la bicicleta de carreras o en una acogedora cafetería. Los productos Etixx me ayudan a rendir de forma óptima durante los ajetreados periodos de entrenamiento y competición y, de este modo, seguir persiguiendo mis objetivos.
