This summer will be Renske’s second time working with Thomson Hockey in the USA, bringing her energy, passion, and experience back to the program after missing last year’s tour while travelling around Australia.
Renske currently plays in the D1 team at HCG in the Netherlands and has spent many years developing both as a player and coach within the Dutch hockey system. Her understanding of the game, combined with her enthusiasm for coaching and player development, makes her a fantastic addition to the Thomson Hockey staff.
Alongside her playing career, Renske has several years of experience coaching and training youth teams of different age groups, helping players improve both technically and tactically while creating a positive and energetic learning environment. Her ability to connect with players and communicate clearly on the field allows her to bring confidence and enjoyment to every session.
Renske brings a strong understanding of modern Dutch hockey principles, with a focus on game awareness, decision making, skill development, and creating an enjoyable but challenging training atmosphere. She is passionate about helping young players grow, compete, and better understand the game.
After being unable to join the staff last summer due to travelling throughout Australia, Renske is excited to finally return and share her knowledge and love for hockey with players and coaches across the USA this summer.
She is looking forward to meeting everyone and helping create a fun, educational, and memorable experience on and off the field.
