HOW IS ATHLETE MANAGEMENT PRICED?+
Every programme is tailored. Contact us to discuss your goals, current level and the support you need.
HAVE YOU COACHED ATHLETES TO NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL RESULTS?+
Yes. Sjoerd has coached at federation level, including at the ISA World Surfing Games and Eurosurf. Impact also works directly with surfers competing at club, regional, national and international level.
WHAT LEVEL OF SURFER DO YOU WORK WITH?+
From ambitious juniors building toward their first national-level result, through to surfers already competing internationally who want sharper tactics and a clearer season plan. We tailor the relationship to where the athlete actually is.
DO YOU WORK WITH NATIONAL FEDERATIONS OR JUST INDIVIDUAL ATHLETES?+
Both. Sjoerd has coached at federation level, including at the ISA World Surfing Games and Eurosurf. We also work directly with individual athletes and their families outside of any federation programme.
HOW LONG DOES AN ATHLETE TYPICALLY WORK WITH YOU?+
There’s no fixed term—some athletes work with us for a single season building toward one event, others for multiple years through their junior-to-senior transition. We discuss this directly based on the athlete’s goals.
IS THIS ONLY FOR SURFERS BASED IN PORTUGAL?+
No. Athlete Management can run remotely where needed—video review, competition planning and sponsorship strategy do not require being based in Figueira. In-person sessions can be arranged during a Coaching Week or separately.
WHAT DOES THE FIRST CONVERSATION INVOLVE?+
A direct conversation about where the athlete is now, what they’re working toward and whether we’re the right fit. No pressure and no fixed package—we only take on athletes where we think we can genuinely help.
