About Me

I’ve been an athlete since I was six. Not just for fun, but a serious one. Judo, competitive swimming, water polo up to the highest amateur level, aikido, marathons and ultramarathons. And now, almost fifty years later, I still train every day: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, strength training and cardio.

That breadth of knowledge is my greatest strength as a sports nutrition coach. It’s exactly what sets me apart.

Water polo, marathon running and jiu-jitsu are three completely different sports, each with their own energy systems, physical demands and recovery needs. I have experienced all three from the inside. I know what it takes to train intensively, perform under pressure and focus systematically on recovery and energy management. Not from a book, but from years of personal experience.

For five years, I was head coach of men’s and women’s water polo teams, with the women’s team competing at the 1st Division league level. There, I learnt just how much of an impact nutrition and recovery have within an intensive training programme, and how to encourage athletes to take this seriously.

My fascination with the science behind performance led me, in 2012, to enrol on the specialist, BGN-accredited Sports Nutrition course at Leidsche Onderwijsinstellingen. After working as a sports nutrition coach for five years, I took a deliberate break. In 2024, I returned to this work, with more life experience, a sharper perspective and a clear conviction: I believe that sport enriches your life. At every level, at every age. Good nutrition is what enables you to keep that up. I know this from my own experience as an athlete, and it is what drives me to help others achieve the same.

That conviction is the reason why TWINDO Sports Nutrition exists.

The world of sports nutrition is full of noise: supplement adverts, fads and advice that’s more about making a sale than about you as an athlete. I do things differently. No sponsored products, no affiliate links, no sales pitches. Just honest, scientifically backed guidance tailored to your sport, your body and your goals. I keep my knowledge up to date through specialist literature and modules led by Prof. Asker Jeukendrup of MySportScience Academy, one of the world’s leading sports nutrition scientists.

Whether you’re training for your first marathon, aiming to perform well on the mat, or simply want to understand how nutrition can support your training: I’ll help you achieve your goals with a practical, actionable approach.
