Q&A
How did you get into the sport?
Through my sister, she had been shooting for a year and because I wanted to try another sport besides horse riding, I started archery and never stopped. This is now two years ago.
What does an average week look like for you?
I go to school full-time and next year I hope to get my HAVO diploma. Furthermore, I am 4-5 nights a week busy with shooting and 2 nights a week with strength training. I live at sports centre Papendal so I can shoot every day.
How often do you train per week, how many hours and how does your training schedule look like?
Monday an hour and a half of weight training, Tuesday 2 hours of shooting, Wednesday 1.5 hours of weight training, Thursday 2 hours of shooting, Friday 3 hours of shooting and in the weekend another training or match.
What are your goals/ambitions in life, both personal and sporting?
In sports I want to train as much as possible to reach the highest level (Olympic Games).
Why did you choose RXDGear?
RXDGear is a cool brand to shoot for. I am very happy that I get this opportunity because Covid 19 has not given me the chance to prove myself during competitions. RXDGear will keep me fit!
