We have a trainer for every type of training, who briefly introduce themselves below:
MiLa
Miranda Boonstra is our trainer for the MiLa training:
Miranda Boonstra
Since April 2017 I have been able to train the MiLa runners at 't Haasje. I am not a standard trainer, because I am not a man and still active myself
athlete. But, you're in luck, because I'm stubborn and know everything about running. As a PhD in Movement Scientist, a graduated physiotherapist and fifteen-time Dutch MiLa champion, I think I will certainly get you excited for the middle and longer distances.
As an athlete, I switched from the steeplechase to the marathon in 2010; both distances with many obstacles along the way. I hope to teach you something about technique, thresholds, threshold training, abdominal muscles, acidification, steeplechase, 10 km pace, 5 km pace, balance, strength, accelerations and the MONA fartlek.
However, I think the most important thing is that you find running the most fun sport there is. I let you walk in the forest, on the road and on the track, flat or with hills and sometimes with an obstacle... who says running is boring?
Sprint
We have two (hurdles/) sprint trainers:
Branco van Minnen (sprint)
In June 2021 I started as a Thursday trainer of the sprinters and hurdlers of 't Haasje. Although I have never had a group of 'adults' under my care before, I think I have enough to teach you a thing or two. I have been participating in athletics since I was 6 and specialized in long sprint events at AAV SISU and MPM Hengelo. This has resulted in medals at, among others, the NSK Track, NSK Indoor, NSK Teams, NSK Meerkamp, NSK Ekiden, the Batavierenrace and the National Championship 4x100m. I have now switched to the MiLa and I train 3 times a week at Nijmegen Athletics. I combine this with, among other things, my work as a biomechanical engineer in orthopedics. In addition, I have been an (AT3-certified) trainer of various pupil and junior groups for many years. I hope to be able to use all my knowledge, skills and experience to improve your performance and, above all, to have fun in athletics. Based on a structured plan, the training sessions will be varied and adapted to the circumstances and the level of the athletes. In short: everyone is welcome!
Hidde Leenders (hurdles / sprint)
In May 2022 I started as a Thursday trainer for the hurdlers and sprinters of 't Haasje. I am also the creator of the sport-specific strength plans. In the meantime, I have had babies and grandparents in my care. When it comes to swimming lessons, athletics training, strength training or gym lessons. I have done it all.
I have been practicing athletics at AV Oss '78 since I was 12 years old. I started as a heptathlete and as a C-junior I discovered my passion for the long hurdles. In 2016 I had to run a 1000m at the end of the all-around event, with which I took first place. A few days later the former trainer called my father and asked if I wanted to come and train in Nijmegen. From 2019 onwards I exchanged Oss for Nijmegen and specialized in the 400m and 800m. I came 4th in the Netherlands on these components a number of times. Very sad, but we'll deal with it.
I combine my passion for athletics with my Physiotherapy studies, which I started in 2021. My vision is to make everyone enjoy exercising and create a safe environment. Working from a plan, we hope to achieve our goals together. Whether this concerns fun or a Dutch championship. I also want to share my knowledge, skills and experience with you with a healthy dose of humor and in a creative way. If you see me on the track, don't hesitate to contact me. I do not bite.
Technical
As technical trainers we have:
Michiel Bibbe
My interest in coaching started at the age of fourteen when I started the Junior-D training to give. Later switched to Juniors-C and then completed the BAT-3 training rounds. In recent years, my studies have made it increasingly difficult to join my home club Still have to give AV Argo training, so I ended up at 't Haasje!
I myself specialize in the throwing events, but also the sprint and jumping I know enough about the parts :).
Nowadays you see me more on the survival track (NSSV FEL) than on the athletics track or in the college banks because I have been working as a Calculator/Engineer for several years an installation company.
