Founder of Success beyond Sport, Annette Huygens-Tholen, represented Australia for 15 years in Indoor and Beach Volleyball and is a 2000 Olympian. Despite a University degree in Physiotherapy, Annette sought alternatives in career on first retiring in 2000. She had brief stints in management in the sport industry with both the West Australian Institute of Sport and with the WA Olympic Council. With a return to her home state of Queensland, Annette also enjoyed speaking to school students through the Get Active Schools Program. None of these provided long-term opportunities so Annette returned to physiotherapy and then nestled into a career in Corporate Health. Something was still missing. After 6 years and 3 retirements from beach volleyball, in 2006 Annette started attending seminars in order to learn and enrich her life. She went on to become a certified Master Results Coach, a Trainer and Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic programming and Hypnotist. Now a trainer for one of the world's prominent coaching and training organisations - Christopher Howard Companies, Annette teach and keeps up with the latest and best in the science and technology of human transformation. As well as teaching and coaching people in the UK and Australia, Annette uses the same tools to transform her own life. She now has a career that takes her travelling internationally several times a year, she has an amazing relationship with a base in Maui, Hawaii all created through using the same focus, self-belief and desire that she did as an athlete. In the space of a year during 2007 and 2008 Annette hit travel destinations off her wish list - Hawaii, Macchu Piccu, a safari in South Africa, Cambodia all the while mingling with other highly successful entrepreneurs and Millionaires
