Michel Boels

Experienced Athletics Coach with an International Track Record

For several years, I have worked as a professional coach within the Flemish Athletics Federation, with a primary focus on the full guidance and coaching of elite athlete Svetlana Bolshakova in the triple jump. This collaboration reached its peak with a bronze medal at the European Championships in Barcelona in 2010 and a selection for the Olympic Games 2012 in London.

In addition, I have coached numerous athletes across various age categories to Flemish and Belgian titles, and guided them to selections and finals at European and World Championships in both triple jump and long jump.

Under my coaching, several athletes have become Belgian record holders in the triple jump, in the cadet girls, U23 women, and senior women categories.
Currently, I apply my expertise to the development of young, promising jumpers from various athletics clubs, offering both technical and mental coaching as they progress toward top-level performance.
