WOrkshop Top Performance!
Reach goals with ease, fun & vitality!
Hi! I'm Ann Schoot Uiterkamp.
As a duathlete, I invest a great deal in the mental aspects of performance to improve my sporting results. Along the way, I discovered how inspiring and applicable these methods are in my professional life as well. Time and again, I find new parallels. I translated my sports performance plans into my work. In fact, they are very simple techniques that have given a significant boost to my own performance at work. Because they have brought me so much, I enjoy sharing these insights with others, helping them maximise their potential in an easy, enjoyable and sustainable way and achieve the goals that matter most to them.
Sport means much more to me than simply performing at my best. It makes me happy, relaxed and fit. It clears my mind, allowing me to focus better. That makes it the foundation for everything else I do. Sport also brings challenge, new insights, adventure and lasting friendships. It has taught me a great deal about myself. I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunities I've been given and for the wonderful people around me. I realise that often, and I truly wish the same for others. That's why I enjoy encouraging and supporting people to become more active and discover the benefits of movement and sport.
Other themes that play an important role in everything I do are personal development, helping people discover their strengths, collaboration, play, enjoyment, vitality, job satisfaction and inspiring leadership.

Trainer & Coach
As a trainer, coach (NOBCO certified) and workplace wellbeing specialist, I take a genuine interest in the people and teams I work with. I naturally see people's strengths and have a strong drive to help them achieve their goals. I support you in getting the very best out of your life.
In doing so, I combine my own experience as an elite duathlete with the sustainable performance methods I have successfully applied in business. I also build on my experience in developing workplace wellbeing and vitality programmes within organisations.
What characterises me as a trainer and coach is genuine interest, enthusiasm, positivity, interaction, personal attention, energy, movement, simplicity, activation, play and enjoyment. Coaching also offers space to explore personal themes in greater depth.
I quickly connect with individual needs, allowing us to work together effectively, efficiently and with enjoyment towards meaningful performance improvement.

My main goals for 2022 are the World Games, the European and World Middle Distance Championships, the European Short Distance Championships, and the World Classic Distance Championships. In addition, I aim to compete in as many Powerman races as possible and race for Les Tritons Meldois in the French Grand Prix circuit. I train in Utrecht with Hellas Triathlon, Hellas Athletics and CS030.
