INJURY PERSPECTIVE
She says that her rehabilitation from a herniated disc in 2019 gave her a new perspective on her sporting career. "I am now putting things into perspective much more than before the operation. I think more about what comes next. After my sporting career, I'll just want to play a game of tennis or be able to sit in the car for a few hours without any problems. Handball is great, but it cannot be at the expense of everything. There is also a life after handball, I have come to realise that much more in the last year." (teamnl.org, 06 Dec 2019)

IMPORTANT WIN
She says the Netherlands' victory at the 2019 World Championship in Japan was an important moment in the sport's development in the country. "When I got into the sport, it wasn't at all realistic to think our team could ever fight for a gold medal at a world event. The sport was not popular, the team either got to the world championships or not. I just wanted to be a good player and then we started getting to the big games. In the last six world tournaments, we finished in the top four, and we were close to success many times. At the moment of victory, I think lots of people felt that we had finally succeeded."
