Sound familiar?
You train well. You recover poorly.
You train four to six times a week. You have a goal: a marathon, a Hyrox, a competitive season. On top of a job that actually demands something of you. And still, it's not coming together.
One day everything clicks. The next day you're running through quicksand. Your watch says you're fit. Your legs say otherwise. Your sessions get heavier instead of faster. You sleep so-so. You have plenty of data, but no direction.
That's not a discipline problem. It's a capacity problem.
Why this is different
Not a new training plan. A different foundation.
A running coach gives you a schedule. A dietitian gives you a meal plan. Your watch gives you a score. All useful — if the foundation is solid. That's where I start. Your sleep, your recovery, your nutrition, your stress and your head, as one whole. Based on kPNI, translated to what your week actually looks like.
Beyond training
We look at your habits, sleep, stress and nutrition. Because that's usually where the brake is.
Fits your life
Everything we change fits inside the week you already have — work and family included.
Measurable and level-headed
You learn to read a few signals: your resting heart rate, your sleep, your energy. Clear and simple, no data overload.
The approach
Three principles behind every choice
Capacity first
Your performance is an outcome of everything underneath it. Before you train harder, the basics have to be right: your sleep, your recovery, your nutrition, your stress and your head. Otherwise you're building on sand.
One system, not loose parts
Your body works as one whole. Stress hits your sleep. Sleep hits your recovery. Recovery hits your training. So that's how we treat it — as one system.
Recharge smarter, not work harder
Most athletes aren't at the limit of their effort. They're at the limit of their capacity. That's a very different problem.

Daniël Beerdsen
I'm a performance and vitality coach for athletes with a full life. And a goalkeeper at SDV Barneveld. I combine an approach based on kPNI with the reality of someone who trains himself and knows what a packed week feels like.
Read my storyWho it's for
For athletes who train seriously next to a full life
Runners training for a marathon next to a full-time job. Cyclists trying to fit long rides and intervals into a packed work week. Hyrox athletes with five sessions and twenty meetings a week. Triathletes, footballers, dedicated gym-goers. The sport differs, the pattern doesn't. You train seriously, but your recovery, sleep, energy or a recurring injury keeps pulling the brake.
Runners
Training for a marathon or PR next to your job, without running yourself into the ground.
Cyclists and gravel riders
Combining long rides and threshold work with a work week, without empty legs.
Hyrox and functional athletes
Combining a high training load with work stress, without giving something up.
Triathletes
Fitting three sports into a week that is already full.
Footballers and team athletes
Staying fit the whole season, without dropping out halfway.
Dedicated gym-goers
Getting stronger without your sleep, energy or work paying the bill.

Frequently asked questions
What you probably want to know first
What happens in the intro call?
Twenty minutes, online. We talk about where you are, where you want to go, and whether working together makes sense. No sales pitch, no obligation. Even if we don't end up working together, you leave with a sharper picture of where your gains are.
How much time does this take on top of my training?
Less than you think. You mostly get smarter with what's already there: your sleep, your meal rhythm, your recovery. Most changes fit inside your existing week.
Is this for recreational athletes too?
Yes — if you train seriously. Your level doesn't matter, your commitment does. If you're training toward a goal and notice your energy, recovery or consistency lagging behind, this is for you.
Do you coach in English?
Yes. Calls and coaching are available in English. The written materials and the online course are currently in Dutch — if that matters for you, mention it in the intro call and we'll look at what works.
What does it cost?
The Performance Sprint is €399 (one-off), the Blueprint €999 (a complete plan) and the Program starts at €2,499 (12 to 16 weeks of coaching). In the intro call you'll hear honestly what fits you. Sometimes that's the cheapest option, sometimes none at all.
