Who is Sam van Lieshout?

I'm Sam, a passionate snowboarder from Valkenswaard. My passion began during family winter sports stories and grew into a career in freestyle snowboarding. Thanks to the Shred Masters training program in Landgraaf, I further developed my talent, which ultimately led me to international stages.

Future dreams

Sam’s goal is clear: to grow within the international snowboarding circuit, compete in World Cups in 2027, and ultimately represent the Netherlands at the 2030 Winter Olympics. Your support – and that of my community – greatly helps to make that dream a reality.


With your contribution, you directly support my athletic development and my mission to represent the Netherlands at the highest level.
