I am Joeri van Liere, born in Goesand raised in Kapelle. Sport has always been an important part of my life. I used to do motocross. Until that day in 2014, in the Zeelandhallen in Goes. A fall changed everything: since that time, I have been paralysed from the chest down.<\/p>\n

Then you only notice how many hurdles there are, literally and figuratively. What was once self-evident suddenly becomes a challenge. Yet, I can still do a lot in Kapelle. People know each other here, and that really makes a difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Sport remains my biggest source of energy. in 2024, I competed in the Paralympic Games, a dream come true. I still do a lot of sport, just here at Kapelle. For instance, I can train indoors for basketball, something that means a great deal to me. Outdoors, a beautiful new pitch has been added, next to the padel courts and tennis courts. Everything is close to each other, at Sportcentrum De Bloesem.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I often play tennis with my father at Tennisvereniging Kapelle. And if the weather allows, I'll go for a walk through the woods afterwards. Everything is literally just around the corner here.<\/p>\n

Wat Kapelle zo bijzonder maakt? De rust. De ruimte. En het gevoel dat je echt je eigen ding kunt doen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

In five minutes you're in Goes, in ten minutes at the little beach. De Bevelanden are clear and familiar. You know the people, the roads, the places. That gives a feeling of home.<\/p>\n

Since becoming a father, I look at my surroundings differently. We often go to the local playgrounds together. It's child-friendly, peaceful, and safe for my daughter. Exactly as you'd hope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n The power of the Bevelanden\n <\/span>\n\n \n The power of the Bevelanden\n <\/span>\n <\/h2>\n

What always draws me in is the water. In the Bevelanden, you literally live surrounded by it. The Kapelse Dijk, the Wemeldingse dijk, the route along the Veerse Meer. Everywhere you feel the openness and see the view. Cycling over those dykes gives a sense of freedom you won't find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Living here means living with peace, space, and friendliness. With sports fields, woodland paths, and the sound of the wind over the dike.<\/p>\n

For me, Kapelle is the place where I can be myself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
