My story
"My name is Annick Melgers, I am a professional tennis player. Among other things, I have been a Dutch champion four times and I have won two international titles. During my top sports career I used to suffer from hyperventilation attacks during training. At first I was diagnosed with exercise asthma.
At that time I was prescribed asthma medication. However, I continued to have these attacks.
The physical trainer of the KNLTB advised me to contact The Breathing Academy, so I started following the breathing training with Ingrid Del Ferro. This felt like a liberation for me.
After following the training and mastering the technique I have never had a hyperventilation attack again and I can complete all training sessions without physical problems and with confidence. It immediately improved my endurance considerably, which was also shown by various exercise tests. I stopped using the the prescribed medication and I never had to take these medications again.
The method gave me a weapon that can be used in all kinds of training. In addition, it is also a weapon on a mental level, such as keeping emotions and thoughts under control before, during and after matches or tournaments. This has given my sports career a positive boost, and at the same time more peace in my daily life.
I have experienced the positive effect the method has on my body and mind. I wish that to everyone and therefore I am very proud to be part of the Del Ferro team."
