Stanley Menzo
After two years working together with Michiel at Beijing Sinobo Guan I realized how important it is to have a (football orientated) sport scientist or performance coach in your staff. For me Michiel’s work was not totally new but different than I had experience before. More detailed. He uses a different approach regarding physical periodization than how I was used to. His specific football approach, thinking in the way the coach wants his team to play, made our young teams able to physically compete at the highest level of the Chinese super league. But it also reduces the number of injuries compared with the years before. Increasing football fitness and reducing injuries is essential for a club and football coach. Especially when you are developing a way of playing for a team or club. Because of this Michiel has my full trust in his approach and I’m looking forward to work with him again in the future.

I worked Michiel at Beijing Guoan fc for 2 years. Every week we had 2/3 meetings with the coaches to judge their trainings. As a director of the youth academy my main task is to make all the coaches better in their trainings and games. This I did together with Michiel as a performance coach. He is very good in explaining the intensity of the training from the whole week, which excersises which day and the sizes of it. Coaches were prepared by this meetings before they went to the pitch and we did from a system which we kept everything.
