"The Olympic Dream"
About our team
Rik Hardon was a fanatical athlete in his youth with only one dream: the Olympic Games. Many training sessions on the athletics track but ultimately he did not have the right talent mix. The environment and facilities also played a role. Dealing with competition tension and performing at the right moments could perhaps have been better. The dream was too far-fetched. 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.
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.

What is your own top? Making (young) athletes aware to enjoy the time fanatically involved in sports, discovering and developing your own route has been the motivation to start MYSPORTTALENT. It is your talent and you determine your route.
MYSPORTALENT has continued to grow, with hurdling athletes Joan & Faye Hardon managing logistics. Additionally, you can attend clinics with Olympic taekwondo athlete Reshmie Oogink or follow up with a nutritionist, sports physiotherapist, or sports psychologist. We are active in various sports, including speed skating and football. Sprint coaching at FC Twente is provided by coach Rik Hardon and top athlete Jermaine Klein. Throughout the entire process surrounding elite athletes, we work with a trusted network of professionals who can help you further develop your talent.
