Since 2020 Diede has been a KNLTB ambassador for the promotion of wheelchair tennis in the Netherlands. She is an inspiration for many people around her, adults and children alike. Diede likes to put a lot of energy in being an ambasssador: “ Tennis is a great sport, even if you cannot play it upright. I am happy to put my energy into showing more people what fun tennis is and that one should not be slowed down by any disability. Just by playing tennis you can gain more confidence and be stronger in society. It is important for people to see that wheelchail tennis players can play with everyone else. That is what makes sport such fun. Together with KNLTB I love to commit myself to making people enthusastic about playing wheelchair tennis.”
