We’re thrilled to announce that Thierry Brinkman, captain of the Dutch national field hockey team and one of the sport’s top players, has extended his ambassador contract with Shock Doctor until 2028. Thierry will continue to represent Shock Doctor’s commitment to top-level protection and performance gear as he progresses through the next four years of his career.
A Year to Remember
2024 has been a defining year for Thierry. Not only did he captain the Netherlands to an Olympic gold medal in Paris—ending a 24-year wait for the title—but he was also nominated for the prestigious FIH Player of the Year award. His skill, dedication, and leadership on the field have solidified him as one of the most inspiring figures in field hockey today.
Rising High with Den Bosch
Thierry’s success extends beyond the national team. Since joining his new club, HC Den Bosch, this season, he’s played a crucial role in pushing the team to the top of the Dutch Hoofdklasse league. Den Bosch is currently leading the standings, showing that Thierry’s “winning factor” brings energy and results wherever he plays.
A Natural Fit with Shock Doctor
Since 2021, Thierry has trusted Shock Doctor for his mouthguards and protective gear, valuing the brand’s focus on safety, innovation, and performance. As an athlete who understands the importance of protection, Thierry is the ideal ambassador for Shock Doctor, embodying our mission to keep athletes szfe and confident in every game.
Looking Ahead to 2028
With this contract extension, Thierry’s partnership with Shock Doctor will continue until 2028, taking him through to the next Olympics. His journey, from leading the Dutch team to gold in Paris to inspiring young players around the world, aligns perfectly with our brand values. We’re excited to stand by Thierry as he continues to elevate his career and redefine what’s possible in the world of field hockey.
Stay tuned as we support Thierry in his journey and look forward to more incredible achievements together. Here’s to more victories, milestones, and the highest level of protection for the best in the game!
