Keynote speakers
Arne Jaspers:
Dr. Arne Jaspers verdedigde in 2018 zijn doctoraat aan de KU Leuven, met als titel 'Identifying relevant load indicators for continuous monitoring in professional soccer'. Eerder behaalde hij een Master in Lichamelijke Opvoeding en Bewegingswetenschappen, met een specialisatie in training en coaching triatlon, en een Master in Revalidatiewetenschappen en Kinesitherapie. Tijdens zijn doctoraat onderzocht hij hoe het meten en opvolgen van fysieke belasting kan helpen om de fitheid van professionele voetballers te optimaliseren en het blessurerisico te verkleinen.
Momenteel werkt Arne als sportwetenschapper bij de Belgische voetbalbond, waar hij de Rode Duivels ondersteunt en betrokken is bij onderzoek en innovatie. Daarnaast is hij als postdoctoraal onderzoeker verbonden aan de KU Leuven, ondersteunt hij bij Peddelsport Vlaanderen mee de Olympische kajakatleten en werkt hij als sportwetenschappelijk consultant voor Raw Stadia. Zijn expertise ligt voornamelijk in sporttechnologie, trainingsmonitoring, en data-analyse, met als doel beslissingsprocessen te verfijnen en trainingsbelasting te optimaliseren.
Jo Van Hoecke:
Jo Van Hoecke (1972) studied at Ghent University and has a PhD in Physical Education (Sport Management) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He is Associate Professor at the Department of Movement and Sport Sciences and teaches sport marketing and entrepreneurship. His research focusses on the management of sport clubs and youth academies in particular. He is Founder of Double PASS, a spin-off company of the Vrije Universiteit Brussels in the field of Quality and Performance Management in Sports. He is involved in different projects regarding auditing and certification of youth development systems in sport. The Foot PASS model has been implemented by different federations and leagues (Flemish Football Federation, Deutsche Fußball Liga and Deutscher Fußball-Bund, Finnish Football Association and the FA Premier League).
Sports management and talent development are the common threads throughout his professional career. Inspired by his buddy Paul De Knop, he has always tried to find a balance between academic and sports practice. The spin-off company he founded with his partner Hugo Schoukens is the best example of this. Together, they dreamed of conquering the world with the Double Pass story and were active on all continents for the most prestigious federations and professional leagues. Jo’s function as coordinating director of Topsportschool Gent brought him back to his roots. With his current elite sport project at Gymfed, the Flemish Gymnastics Federation, as TD Elite Sport he hopes to make a valuable contribution to another Belgian success with our gymnasts at the Olympics in Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032.
