• WVS Premier Field Hockey Academy Head Coach

• Field Hockey BC Regional & Provincial Coach 

Isabelle has been playing field hockey since she was just 6 years old and has played extensively in the Netherlands, and in Curacao, the Dutch Caribbean where she was on a senior team with both men and women.  

Isabelle started coaching in college in 2016. She coached mainly Junior teams in the Netherlands, and in Curacao but also organized big events, tournaments and mentored junior coaches to help them lift their skill levels.  

Isabelle enjoys exploring new places, hiking in nature, and meeting new people. Her desire to live and work in a different country brought her to Canada. She had a passion to learn not only more about field hockey in a different culture but also more about Canada, the country itself.  

Isabelle is an all-round athlete who enjoys being active at a high level. She has played many sports including baseball, swimming, and skiing.  

Isabelle is an outstanding coach in the Field Hockey Academy as she shares her knowledge about the sport with these young athletes. Isabelle finds it rewarding to watch the success of the student athletes as they continuously improve their skills, learn the game, form great friendships and work to win a championship under her tutelage. 

Isabelle is a continuous learner herself as she is always open to learning new things from both her athletes and from her colleagues. Isabelle says that there is nothing better than turning the sport you love into a full-time job!
