Great piece Ingi! Thanks for your support to Pila Ictus!
"Every day has new chances, take that and seize the day, or 'pluk de dag'!"
Since the Sports Academy, I am working in sports. I started giving swimming lessons and became head of a swimming pool. I became restless and worked a few years as a tour guide in sportive group holidays. Now I am teaching sports classes for already 16 years here at the Bongerd. It gives me a lot of energy to be active with people and share my experience.
I enjoy it a lot to make someone’s day a bit better. That’s why I try to turn my classes at the Bongerd into a little party! Students and employees can discover their physical and mentally limits in a save and fun environment.
Of course it’s not always easy to motivate students, sometimes they are totality in their own head and not mentally present. For me, it is a nice challenge to offer these students a care free moment in a busy day.
In the past years the Bongerd has grown significally and I really like to see how active all the students are. So many teams and individuals are sporting here at campus.
The last thing I would like to say to you all: the only person that is responsible for your quality of life is YOU!
Take good care of yourself and remember: Sit less - Feel better!
