Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where do you live? What do you do in daily life? When did you start playing lacrosse?
I’m 25 years old and live in Utrecht. At this moment I work full-time in a bar in Utrecht, but next year I want to go to college again, to become a paramedic or a occupational therapist. I started playing lacrosse 4 years ago, and I played 2 years as a midfielder and the last 2 years as a goalie.
Congratulations with your spot on the team! What was the first thing you did when you heard?
First thing I did when I made the team: I called my parents, girlfriend and everyone else to share this news.
What are you most looking forward to in Denver?
Of course I want to play as much as possible, but next to that obvious. I really want to see the players I’m watching on the television, play in real life.
What are your expectations for Denver?
I think we need to work hard as a team and that we will get tough games, but in the end I see us ending up in the blue group.
How do you interpret the MDNT 2014 motto “Destination Denver and Beyond”?
I think that it’s wonderful to play lacrosse. And at the MDNT training days I’ve played a lot and learned a lot. So I think it is a really good project to improve the overall level of lacrosse in The Netherlands.
