General Interest
Other information OFFICIAL ROLES She has served as chef d'equipe of the Belgium equestrian jumping team at Nations Cup events, and in 2020 she was named as a selector of the Belgian CSIO 3* and 4* teams in cooperation with national coach Peter Weinberg. "I love high-performance competition and that was a way of remaining at the top level. It was also a chance to work alongside Peter Weinberg and I find it super. I was also very happy to see that he [Peter] had thought of me very early on. I've always dreamed of being a chef d'équipe, but I was thinking moreso of a team of young people, and in a few years' time maybe. That's the only thing that might have made me hesitate, but I think you must seize the opportunities that come your way."
