Other sports:

She has also competed in wheelchair tennis at elite level. (itftennis.com, 01 Jan 2019)

Her first club was SC Antilope Utrecht in the Netherlands. (sitness.nl, 01 Jan 2020)

She discovered the sport through a Paralympic talent day. "Initially I played wheelchair tennis for a while. I really liked this, but wanted to look for another sport in the wheelchair, preferably a team sport. Through the Paralympic talent day I ended up with wheelchair basketball." (sitness.nl, 01 Jan 2020)

Philosophy:

"Wheelchair basketball is the ultimate sport for me because there is so much involved." (sitness.nl, 01 Jan 2020)

General
CAR HELP
She received a car on lease because she is an A-status athlete in the Netherlands, which she says has had an important impact on her life. "I have a spinal cord injury that prevents me from using my legs to drive. I therefore use a system with a hand throttle and hand brake. I use my left hand to steer, and with the right I accelerate and brake. It is difficult to take my sports wheelchair on public transport. That's why I used to be often taken to the sports hall by my parents. My own car gives me my freedom, and that is worth a lot to me. I am no longer dependent on others and this enlarges my world. Because it is a lease car, I no longer have to face unexpected costs." (welzorg.nl, 12 Nov 2020)
