Jonas De Wachter

I’m in my element when I can guide, test and motivate people and groups to achieve their sporting and health goals. A healthy mind in a healthy body is what I’m all about. That’s why I strongly believe that promoting both mental and physical wellbeing is crucial for achieving greater productivity and a better quality of life – both at work and in our everyday lives.

And in my spare time, I enjoy triathlon, endurance coaching and anything to do with the science of sport and exercise.

I focus on the pillars of social, mental and physical wellbeing, giving Extra additional goes to the physical aspect. Through my expertise as a coach – working with beginners right through to elite athletes – I take a science-based approach. Both the mental and social aspects receive equal attention, because they are interconnected.

Organisationally, I am quite accomplished, too. I was project manager of Ket2Sport, an event for 2000 primary school children at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, run in conjunction with Sport Vlaanderen and the Flemish Community Commission. At 185 Coaching Center, I coached and trained employees of Ipsos and Unizo.
