Interviewing Dutch coaches
In February 2021 I interviewed Dutch national coaches past and present in the space of three days. First up was current bondscoach Frank de Boer at the Dutch FA headquarters in Ziest. Two days later it was the legend that is Guus Hiddink at the swanky Waldorf Astoria hotel in Amsterdam.
Woman's UCL anthem recording
Attended the recording of the new anthem for the Woman’s UEFA Champions League in Hilversum’s media park. A 36-piece choir, conducted by the wonderfully talented Martina Batič - what a sound!
Afterwards I interviewed Martina, plus Niels, Lodewijk and Erik-Jan from MassiveMusic, who were responsible for writing it. A truly uplifting experience.
Filming in Curaçao
I’m heavily involved with Amaseu’s Erik-Jan de Rooij on yet another hugely enjoyable project: converting the content of the Seven Elixirs for a Great Life book (which I helped him write) into a format suitable for an online course.
We had been doing a lot of brainstorming, scripting and trial filming, and in March we filmed the content for real in Curaçao. Seriously hard work, with every day a real adventure to find a decent location, but we made it in the end.
