Anner Miedema (2018)

Anner Miedema (born September 8, 1990 in Leiden ) is a Dutch cycling trainer, former speed skater and cyclist.

Anner Miedema began speed skating at the age of eight, and in the summer months he supplemented his own training with cycling. Eventually he switched to cycling entirely, but his performance was not enough to become an elite rider. However, he realized early on that he enjoyed instructing other athletes in training.

After graduating from school, where he learned German for seven years, Miedema studied sports science for five years at the Free University of Amsterdam . He did an internship with the then Dutch national coach René Wolff from Erfurt and then got a contract as his assistant coach. After Wolff's departure as a trainer, Miedema was interim trainer for the Dutch national track cycling team in the short-term until September 2017. After the previous coach of the Erfurt sprint team , Tim Zühlke , moved to China as national coach, Miedema became its successor in December 2017.

In Erfurt, Anner Miedema is responsible for the women and men in the elite class as well as the U23 and is therefore the home trainer of Olympic champion Kristina Vogel , multiple junior world champion Pauline Grabosch (until 2019) and junior world champion Maximilian Dörnbach .
