So very proud of what we have achieved in the European Championship U17 in Estonia (players born 2009).

We were able to reach a historic moment for Belgian football by reaching the Final and were very close to topping it by winning the Final against Italy.

The way our players and staff presented themselves on the highest professional level made it possible to reach this level of performance.

Culture, structure, passion, perseverance, belonging, focus, re-focus, teamspirit, discipline, fun,… are all words that came to life during this tournament in function of our ultimate goal, winning!

‘We are BELGIUM’ was not just a slogan but an attitude we lived by🇧🇪❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to our next challenge in the WC U17 in Qatar 🇶🇦 that takes place in November-December.

What a fantastic year we had Royal Belgian Football Association in developing the players for the future of Belgian Football.

Finding the balance between developing our own playing style, developing individuals in their own pathway within a team context and at the same time creating a winning culture.

Proud to pass on all my knowledge and experience gathered over all these years and working aligned with all staff members having the same goal setting.

Had a great Club Implementation with Double Pass in Turkyie visiting 3 Clubs (Trabzonspor, Rizespor and Samsunspor) of the Turkish Super Lig.
We guided the academy coaches to bring theoretical sessions on Session DNA, Exercise DNA and Coach DNA onto the pitch, within the specific philosophy of each club individually.

Thanks to Hans Vander Elst for the top cooperation during our visits and big thanks to the Turkish clubs and Turkish Football Federation for their fantastic welcome and openness to take their own development to the next level.
