She started the sport at age six at the Forward club in Tilburg, Netherlands. (hockey.nl, 22 Mar 2019; Athlete, 25 Jun 2011)

She used to watch her sister playing. "My sister is three years older, but I still hoped that the trainer would ask if I would join in if I was standing on the sidelines. Once I was playing hockey, I was like a young dog that just ran wagging after the ball. We were divided into girls and boys. I soon found it boring with the girls. I was too fanatic. The trainers saw that too, so they let me join the boys." (hockey.nl, 22 Mar 2019)

Philosophy:

"If you don't want to work for the team, you should play tennis. No one can play hockey on their own." (hockey.nl, 22 Mar 2019)

She was named Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau for her achievements at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. (bd.nl, 02 Sep 2012)

In 2012 she received the Mariska Lips Award in Tilburg, Netherlands. (tilburg.com, 17 Sep 2012)
