My departure from The Netherlands will also mean my departure from the Dutch National Team. The Badminton Federation respects my choice and I am happy with that.
I expect to meet you all in The Netherlands regularly in the future, at least during the international tournaments in The Netherlands. As my Family is very important to me, I will often be in The Netherlands. I believe that if you close a door somewhere else a door will open for new chances and opportunities.
I would like to thank everyone who supported me the last few years and I hope to count on your support in the future. For now it is a goodbye from The Netherlands, but it is not a goodbye from you all. From Switzerland, where I will have my home base, I will pursue my badminton career and I look into the future with confidence.
