Marie Derolez

Hi I am Wauter Derycke, performance coach of our ATP team and development coach of 3VL.

My passion for everything that has to do with high performance sports is what drives me every day and  pushes me to be the best coach I can be for our team. My job is to make sure that our athletes have the platform to train en develop to their full potential and create the best possibilities for them to achieve their goals.

I’m very proud to be part of this wonderful team. Together we can make a difference.

My name is Marie Derolez, I am the sports physiotherapist and technical running coach of our ATP team.

The biggest part of my job is to make sure our athletes can give the best of themselves at every training. Besides this I also supervise all the dryland programmes and I join the Saturday running session to coach running technique.

I’ve been working in sports and rehab center SQUADT (Waregem) for 6 years now, where I get the chance to work with elite athletes.

I’m Martijn Balcaen, a seasoned swim coach with two decades of diverse experience across all swimming disciplines and distances. Armed with a Trainer A diploma, my passion lies in sculpting motivated athletes to reach their maximum potential.

Just like my colleagues on the ATP team, my mission revolves around unlocking the full capabilities of our athletes. I strive to provide the ideal platform for training, refining their skills, and crafting the perfect environment for them to chase their goals. Working alongside a fantastic team, we’re geared to make a real difference together.

While my journey isn’t just about swimming, the sport weaves into my life as a core passion. I’m dedicated to instilling this love for the water and performance in the athletes I work with, paving the way for their success. Join us in this incredible swim journey!

My name is Lotte Hertveldt, coach and triathlete.Currently, I’m finishing my master’s degree in Movement and Sports Sciences and completing my Trainer A in Triathlon/duathlon. I’m very grateful to join this wonderful team, where I did my internship, to learn, grow and gain new experiences.

As a coach I want to create an environment where athletes can grow, develop themselves and reach their highest potential, not only as an athlete, but also in life. I strongly believe that a balanced mind and body is the key to reach a certain level and that a group of people with a similar mindset can challenge and inspire each other in this journey. I will communicate with the athletes, listen to their needs and worries and search for an unique approach that best suits the personality of the athlete, to help them grow in the best way possible.
