“Listen to your call to adventure and accept the challenge.” After being a top athlete and Dutch Champion pole vault Wout van Wengerden started the platform “Kwetsbare held”, to find the answers to some of his deepest life questionshe learned in the “school of life”.


Meet Wout van Wengerden (29), a former professional athlete and now entrepreneur, although he rather calls himself a fulltime life discoverer. He is a multiple Dutch champion in pole vault.

When he ended his sports career in 2012 Wout had no clue of who he was without doing sports. He struggled with my own dignity and self-image.

Driven by fear of not being enough and a constant desire to be free he started his own life-laboratory called ‘Kwetsbare Held’ (Vulnerable Hero) to find answers to his innermost questions of life.

He interviews all different kinds of people, has many unexpected encounters and transforming experiences which he shares online in video’s, blogs and offline in speaking events and adventures coach sessions.

He believes there is a huge disarming magic in being sincere, to oneself and the world, and by discovering this time and time again, and seeing loads of people struggling with this, he feels a strong desire to inspire people with this magic.
