Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where do you live? What do you do in daily life? When did you start playing lacrosse?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi! My name is Lionel, I\u2019m a 24 year-old student and I live in Groningen. I study Nutrition and also Communication-systems. In my spare time I like to go to the gym, play lacrosse and during summer and spring I also like to play golf once in a while. Oh.. and I love to eat.. I\u2019ve been playing lacrosse since I was 18 and ever since my goal was playing for the national team. After four years my hard work paid off and I was selected for the national team during the European Championships in 2012. My goal now is to keep developing as a player and enjoy playing the sport I love at the highest level possible.<\/p>\n

Congratulations with your spot on the team! What was the first thing you did when you heard?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I saw the email about making the cut, I was on my bike from practice. The first thing I did was check if some of my friends made the team.<\/p>\n

What are you most looking forward to in Denver?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What I\u2019m most looking forward to is dress in \u2018Orange\u2019 and hear our national anthem. Representing my country is a great honour and being there and hearing the anthem will definitely give me the chills.<\/p>\n

What are your expectations for Denver?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I expect to bring our best to Denver. We will bring the best team The Netherlands ever did and we will show the world that we are a serious threat.<\/p>\n

How do you interpret \u201cDestination Denver and Beyond\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think the program is doing a great job looking in to the future. This program is not only about one tournament, but also about developing lacrosse in our country.<\/p>\n
