Sara Wennekers - Then I'll do it myself
Olympic windsurfer Sara Wennekers on setbacks, ownership, and building her own path to LA 2028.
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.
