Hello, I'm Joany Looijer, a certified CISSN Sports Nutritionist and IOC trainee.

My journey into sports nutrition began in 2001, after earning a Bachelor's degree in Sports Science. I continued my education in sports nutrition and coaching. You can find more about my educational background here: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/joany-looijer-3743a3aa/].

However, my experience since starting my coaching career in 2017 has taught me that having a deep understanding of nutrition science is just one part of the equation. It's equally important to establish credibility with athletes and their teams. To achieve this, I invest a lot of time in getting to know each athlete individually and building trust. My approach is centered around demonstrating integrity, maintaining transparency, and communicating clearly. I firmly believe that my success is truly realized when the principles of good nutrition seamlessly fit into the busy lives of athletes, leading to remarkable results.

Furthermore, I have a history of participating in competitive amateur boxing and triathlons; I've developed a great appreciation for the important role that sports nutrition plays in supporting an athlete's recovery and overall performance.

Today, as an IOC trainee, I plan to graduate in 2026. This strong scientific foundation allows me to effectively guide athletes at all levels in their athletic pursuits.
