Vollering’s life
As a child in Pijnacker, Vollering’s parents, who ran a horticultural company, taught her the importance of working hard. She excelled in her studies and pursued a career in flower design because she had a strong work ethic instilled in her from an early age. She split her time between making floral arrangements and exercising, though her love of cycling was constant.
Having a difficult skating season in 2017–18 caused Vollering to experience a change in her life. She realized she had a natural talent for cycling as soon as she turned her attention to it. Vollering’s cycling career took off thanks to help from her boyfriend, Jan de Voogd, and guidance from seasoned mentors and coaches. Her commitment and calculated approach paid off in training camps and in Ardennes races.
While Jan de Voogd, her partner, has been a crucial source of support, the mentors’ advice and the camaraderie among Team SD Worx have helped her succeed.
