Duties as an assistant coach
For all teams I was responsible for scouting the opponent and producing detailed scouting reports. I also worked on our defensive and offensive game strategies, and was responsible for the individual development of our (young) players. In Charleroi I was the defensive coordinator and head of Player Development. For Charleroi, Limburg United, Leuven and Zwolle I was also involved in the recruiting process for our team. In Leuven I was also the youth coordinator of the youth teams and guided the youth coaches. In Zwolle I was also responsible for the strength & conditioning for both the men’s and youth teams. In Weert I set up a coaching program that guided and helped the youth coaches develop.
I am a specialist when it comes to digital video analyzing and game preparation.

Other information
Since 2016 I am a clinician for the VTS (Flemish Coaches School) in Belgium. The VTS is a coaching program set up by the government of Belgium to educate coaches.
I started own company in 2003 in Rotterdam (Netherlands). We provided basketball clinics for coaches, players and schools. In 1 year we organized over 650 clinics in several schools in the Rotterdam area. Besides the school program I also organized national clinics. Among them were the youth clinics at the biggest Dutch X-mas tournament known as the Haarlem Basketball Week. In 2020 founded the European Basketball Webinar (7000+ attendees).
During the summer of 2020 I organized the EBW (European Basketball Webinar). This 6-day event was visited by more than 7000+ coaches from all over the world and was being lectured by top (European) coaches, including (former) Euroleague coaches and 3 National Team head coaches.
The professional players that have worked with me call a good analyzer and tactician. I have a network both in and outside Europe. I was the youngest coach to receive the Trainer B-Diploma in 1999 (at that time, the highest in the Netherlands).
