This is Stan van Dalfsen, a young and passionate hurdler from the Netherlands. In track and field, Stan focuses primarily on the 400-meter hurdles and the 110-meter hurdles, and he has made significant progress in both events recently.
In hurdling, Stan combines speed with technique, rhythm, and explosiveness. It is precisely this combination that makes the sport challenging and requires a great deal of attention to detail. That is why Stan continues to develop as an athlete and works specifically on his technique, strength, and speed.
In addition to his technical skills, Stan stands out for his motivation and perseverance. He is used to training with a clear focus on his goals and strives to give his all during competitions. He also wants to continue to grow mentally and learn to handle the pressure that comes with high-level competition.
An adventure in the United States offers Stan the opportunity to continue developing his skills in a competitive track and field environment. Stan is looking forward to challenging himself, gaining new experiences, and discovering how far he can go as a hurdler.
“I want to keep improving my speed and technique and see how far I can develop as a hurdler in a competitive environment.” – Stan van Dalfsen
