When I rowed at the Hunze as a 15-year-old boy, Steven became our new coach. He immediately had something special, something that distinguished him from the other coaches.
I had a good experience with Steven. His coaching has helped me a lot in creating more peace in my mind! He always explained everything well and how I had to apply it, I still meditate to this day.
Steven is capable of coaching to the core, simple and original.
As a coach, Steven made a difference in mental guidance. In my view, this was of great value since in rowing the physical and mental aspects stands central.

In conversations with Steven, I've learned that you can gain satisfaction in matches and training in multiple ways.
