“Roy goes his own way. That’s why coaching was always exciting, despite working together for a long time. He often surprised me with unexpected, unconventional things and challenged me not only athletically but also mentally. The conversations went far beyond sport. As well as giving me lots of new input for training and competitions, Roy taught me to be more patient and calm when my body didn’t do what my head wanted. With his statement “this injury is just part of you”, I learned to accept it better and deal with it positively.
Thanks to Roy, as a runner, I now also enjoy cycling and swimming. Thank you Roy!”
