Dear Friends,
It is not without pride that I present my new website. Actually, it 's not just a website, it 's a project !
My career started some 20 years ago as an exercise physiologist. In the last decade I operated on an independent basis and I came to the conclusion that the world around me has changed thoroughly. In recent years it became clear that some change of my own business was also inevitable. Ten years ago, I was one of the few physiologists in town with a lactate testing device; these days, every endurance trainer who takes himself seriously has one. In addition, and although much more people are actively engaged in sports participation, the number of trainers has grown even more.
Beside my 'established' activities as a physiologist (testing & advice) and physical trainer (tennis & more), I will no longer concentrate on athletes, but even focus on trainers, by organizing interactive workshops (based on 7 principles, which I will explain in a next column).
At this very moment, my clinics - about periodization, lactate testing, warming-up & cooling-down - are not yet organized abroad or in English. However, I plan to do this in the near future. I hope we can stay tuned on this website and through my blog postings. In 2012 I wrote already a book (about the 'B.A.S.I.C.S.' for succesful training), so you will not be astonished that I like to write: you can count on me as a blogger and I wish you already a lot of inspiration by reading my blogs.
Last but not least, I want to thank my team (www.billycom.be and www.e-visible.be) for the support with this project, and I am proud of many of my intelligent and critical clients who stayed faithful to me after so many years and who certainly made me a better coach.
Kind regards & Stay healthy and fit !
