Rik Hardon was a fanatical athlete in his youth with a po athlete ambition. Many training sessions on the athletics track with his friends & coaches to become the best. Were these sessions the best for physical development? The environment and facilities played a role as well. Dealing with competition tension and performing at the right moments could perhaps have been better. Doesn't that apply to many sports talents? In the youth years, the pressure was too much on winning and performing and not on developing, growing, learning, and especially having fun.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

In the years after his sports career, Rik developed in the business world where performing, and getting the best out of yourself and your team, is central just like in sports. Several top coaching courses later, that acquired knowledge turns out to be not only applicable to commercial business but certainly also to guiding athletes as a performance coach. In the past 15 years, Rik has coached several national champions on the athletics track, worked with internationals, and worked as a mental and sprint coach in other sports next to his leadership roles in business.\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
