Sara Wennekers is a Dutch Olympic windsurfer in the IQFoil class. After being told she had to leave the national team in 2019 — just as the sport changed completely - she looked at the setback and decided: then I'll do it myself.

In this episode of Power Move, Sara tells how she bought and converted a van, drove into Europe alone on minimal means, and rebuilt her entire career from scratch - building her own team of coaches and experts along the way. We talk about setbacks and ownership, extreme focus and what it costs, studying Law alongside elite sport, and why she says her biggest goal out loud: Olympic gold in Los Angeles 2028.

A conversation about resilience, self-belief, and refusing to wait for permission.

Femke Heemskerk is one of the most decorated swimmers the Netherlands has ever produced: Olympic gold in Beijing 2008, silver in London 2012, and a multiple-time world champion. But this conversation isn't about the medals.

In this first episode of Power Move, Femke opens up about focus and what it cost her, the moment she decided to walk away from elite sport, and the deep-rooted patterns and beliefs that were quietly holding her back at the very top — and how she learned to recognise them, break them, and reinvent herself. Now returning as team manager of TeamNL and studying haptonomy, she reflects on what "winning" means to her today.

A conversation about focus, letting go, and starting over.
