The confidence partner for the athlete!

Our mission

Providing professional, comprehensive and sustainable support for athletes in their professional career and life at an accessible price.

In short, athletes are (partly) our responsibility.

Our vision and values

It is our special concern to guide, advise and support athletes individually and personally.

This allows the athlete to fully concentrate on their career and knows that we are at their side in any situation.

We help professional athletes and talent to constantly evolve and advise them in all possible areas of their career.

In addition to sport, legal, business and financial advice, we offer everything an athlete needs.

Moreover, it is important for us to create a living environment for the athlete and his family, which ensures optimal career development.

All this should form the basis, so that the athlete can achieve his personal and sporting goals.

Our focus is not only on the active career, but goes further. What the athletes do after their sports career is also important to us. With the help of our partners, we promote optimal development of our athletes.

For this we work together with a team of doctors as well as physiotherapists, personal trainers, psychologists, nutritionists, lawyers and tax advisers.

In addition, we help our athletes to set, develop, regularly test and (where necessary) adjust their objectives.

A sports career is short, so we offer our athletes a wide network to prepare for a safe and risk-free future.

Our services

Every athlete is sometimes confronted with a difficult phase in their life, in which they need help. Whether it is a promotion at work, a family conflict or dealing with a broken relationship, we are here to help.

Every situation requires a focused personal approach.

Personal guidance can take many forms, both personal and professional.

We provide people orientated honest and result orientated individual guidance.

During personal coaching and guidance, the athlete gets to know and accept themselves. They learn more about their personality, their deepest wishes and fears and purpose in life.
