This is Frederique Tjan, an ambitious field hockey player from the Netherlands. She started playing hockey at the age of four and has played at Klein Zwitserland since she was eight. Over the years, hockey has taught her a lot about discipline, teamwork and performing under pressure.
Frederique describes her mentality as one of her greatest strengths. She works hard, does not give up easily and is always open to feedback. On the field, she has good overview, allowing her to make smart decisions both offensively and defensively. She also communicates a lot with her teammates and helps organize the defense.
In the United States, Frederique wants to develop further as both a student and an athlete. She looks forward to getting to know a new culture, playing hockey at a high level and receiving a good education at the same time. Her ambition is to eventually become a doctor and combine hockey at a high level with her studies for as long as possible.
