About the Author (by the Author Himself):
I hope this message finds you in high spirits. My name is Mauro van de Looij, and I'm thrilled to reach out and introduce myself to you.
Let me paint a quick picture of who I am: I'm a 35-year-old based in vibrant Eindhoven, Netherlands, where I reside with my wonderful wife, Ellen, and our two lively sons, Edin and Feran. Beyond the joys of family life, I'm fueled by a passion for psychology, leadership, and sports. My mission? To empower individuals to be their best selves, armed with practical insights from the realm of psychology.
Adventure is in my blood—I've been fortunate to explore every corner of the globe, save for Oceania. During my university years, I even moonlighted as a DJ, adding yet another layer to my interests.
On the professional front, I hold a Bachelor!s degree in Child Psychology and a Master!s in Sports and Performance Psychology. My journey led me to the esteemed youth academies of PSV Eindhoven and Willem II, where I honed my skills as a dedicated youth coach, delving deep into player development, lifestyle factors, and the psychology of performance.
Since the summer of 2020, I've been privileged to share my expertise as a psychology teacher at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. There's nothing quite like witnessing the growth and development of aspiring psychologists—it's a source of immense satisfaction and inspiration for me. Together with my colleague Martijn Bauer, I also run a coaching agency, Bauer & Van de Looij, focused on empowering coaches, teachers, and leaders in sports and educational settings.
Thank you for considering my invitation to connect. I'm genuinely excited about the possibility of discovering the synergies between our paths and exploring potential collaborations.
Warm regards,
Mauro van de Looij
