Ep. 6 The Normal World of Sjef Bakker (Dutch)

In this episode of The Normal World, we'll dive into the world of Gymnastics. Sjef Bakker shares his story of why he started gymnastics in the first place, why he quit, how he experienced transitioning to being a coach and later on educate future coaches. This podcast is in Dutch, because Sjef, my dad, wasn't comfortable sharing his story in English.


I hope by sharing this podcast I can help other ex-elite athletes or athletes that are going to retire. I also hope that this podcast will help me heal in the sense that I can create something I wish was there when I quit my elite career. Enjoy listening!
