Christophe and Philip Roodhooft
Niels Albert's team leader and manager
“Keeping fit. Everyone in top form.”
A top sportsman has to do everything in his power to keep fit and to stay at the top. However, his entourage must also be able to keep up. This is often no mean feat. As Niels Albert’s team leader and manager, Christophe and Philip Roodhooft know what they are talking about. Their team of trainers, mechanics, drivers, sports doctors and physiotherapists do everything in their power to get the world champion and his team to perform at an even higher level. Christophe is well aware that can’t be achieved on a diet of hot dogs, French fries and curry sausages.
He and the team doctor insist that there is always healthy, high energy food within reach, for everyone. He has therefore had a Starmeal Healthy Food Corner installed in the team house. This means that there is always a large selection of fresh and tasty ready-to-eat salads, original pasta dishes, vegetable meals, and healthy soups close at hand.
“People gratefully make use of it. Increasingly so, as a matter of fact. And I am definitely noticing a positive difference. The men are not only more alert and have more energy, but they are also in a better mood. And believe it or not, that also improves performance."
Niels himself is a great fan of the StarMeal soups. Given that the competitions always take place in winter, he considers the soups to be an ideal energy boost. They are a must-have at competitions, and the supporters can also help themselves and enjoy them.
