But I was still insecure..
Throughout my entire youth, I felt inferior to others. The opinions of others could make or break me. My insecurity held me back enormously — in my sport, my relationships, my studies, in everything.
One day I met a mental coach..
He taught me that my thinking could simply be different. I realized that I could become more conscious and distance myself from my then-current 'self', from my own personality, from my thinking. I could view and assess 'my thinking and its impact' from a distance. And choose.
After every conversation with that coach, I felt great!
I could take on the world! And that feeling was real. Simply by looking at things differently, I felt totally different. And the only thing that changed was how I saw myself and the realization of what I had actually been thinking all day long! The realization that the facts were playing out outside of my thinking.
From that moment on, everything in my life really started to change.
I became more aware, overthought, felt much calmer and focused on what I was doing. I started to see my own worth, and it wasn't fake pep talk; it was based on facts! It was lasting.
10 years
professional football
I played in Belgium and Germany, at KV Oostende,
Beerschot, SV Waregem, Cercle Brugge and Bonn.
I immersed myself as
a freak and started helping others as well.
The desire to learn and help actually started in my youth.
As the eldest of 3, I was 'pushed' into a helping role: helping Mom. That became my secret power, and soon I became the listening ear and advisor to the friends. And to their friends, etc.
After experiencing the impact of thinking differently, I became passionate and delved obsessively into the subject matter and into meditation. And strangely enough, I drew most of my conclusions from meditation. Not airy-fairy meditation, but structural meditation. I tried out all forms and discovered the true impact of meditation.
From footballer to business manager
After my football career, I went to work at the Royal Bank of Scotland, and via customer service and accounts receivable, I focused on corporate training. The then CEO suggested that I provide the same training in the Netherlands and Germany. Subsequently, I started my independent business as a Mental Coach.
And after more experience in the banking sector, intensive self-taught study, and powerful, deep meditation, I started my activity as a Mental Coach. Along the way, I have delved into Business Coaching, Business Development, and Business Strategy.
My specializations are Mental Coaching, Business Coaching, and Elite Sports Coaching, for both individuals and groups.
Autodidact by experience
My expertise is a mix of personal mental, elite sports, and business experience.
Vlerick Business School
For me, the Business Strategy program was a deepening and a confirmation of the importance of defining a clear approach and direction for companies.
