Right (worldarchery.sport, 23 Feb 2021)

He took up archery at age 12, and a year later he joined the SC Bartje club in Assen, Netherlands. (talentboek.nl, 31 Dec 2018)

He read a book about archery and decided that he wanted to start the sport. He found a toy bow and started shooting in his yard at home. "I immediately got addicted to archery. The feeling of satisfaction when hitting the middle of the target and the frustration when the arrow doesn't hit the middle has kept me going since the start." (rtvdrenthe.nl, 09 Jul 2021; Athlete, 20 Jul 2021)

General
PILOT
He is interested in aerospace and would like to become a pilot. "What similarities do I see between pilots and top athletes? Both must be able to make the right choice under great pressure. Athletes, like pilots, have a huge responsibility in their own way. When something works, you can only look at yourself. That is why many companies book seminars with top athletes. Business people find it inspiring to hear about the things that athletes face, responsibility, making choices, and sacrifice." (voxweb.nl, 21 Jun 2021)
