Additional sporting info

I started playing tennis and handball when I was 5 years old. I have been playing golf since I was 11
years old. I stopped playing tennis when I was 12 to have more time for golf. I still played handball (in
winter) until I was 14 years old. Through tennis and handball I learned early to play for myself
(tennis) but also to be a good team player (handball). So today I can focus strongly on my game
without neglecting the team and support my team mates.
I train 5 days a week on the golf course. Either with the team or my personal trainer, sometimes alone. You can also find me in the gym on a regular basis.
Additionally, I have regular appointments with my physio therapist and my mental coach.
