One on One Interview with Lucia Rijker!
By Sue TL Fox
July 15, 2008

     
   
   
   
   
(JULY 15) This week WBAN conducted an interview with Lucia Rijker about her corporation, Rijker Striker Inc., she has developed that incorporates all of her talents and knowledge that she has gained throughout the last 26 years of competing in and outside the ring.

TL Fox: You started Rijker Striker, Inc. in about February of 2007?

Rijker: Actually I started it in 1999, it is just that it became more active throughout the years. As I was competing, I was also exploring my gift as a coach and speaker, and inspirator, so to speak. But, I also focused on the company as a corporation -- businesswise.

TL Fox: Since you have been created Rijker Striker, Inc., have you had any of the women boxers who have grabbed onto this coaching you are doing, or is this something new where you are going to getting more women boxers involved?

Rijker: I am coaching a young female----I am doing that voluntarily, but I also need to be aware that I need to make a living. But, I was approached by a female fighter that wanted a private seminar with me, unfortunately I realized that the demands of that is expensive for some people, so I developed a way for female fighters to utilize my coaching and advising, by having the fighter send me video of their training, or fights, and I critique them on what they should be working on, and they check in with me. It really depends on what their individual needs are.

TL Fox: You talked to WBAN in February of 2007, about a seminar you were going to have at the Olympic Training Center in Holland, did that seminar take place? If so, how did it go?

Rijker: Yes, the seminar did take place. It was a lot of work to promote and create my own system of peak performing, with a whole new approach to sports. The seminar went very well and was geared toward women. The seminar received national coverage.

TL Fox: Can you give us some updates and what transitions you have made in your life in the last couple of years or so?

Rijker: The last couple of years I have transitioned into performing. I did a couple of TV shows, a show in Thailand where I host a boxing team, a survival show in Norway, etc. Those things I like---I am really passionate about, and it pays my bills. In that transition time, I wasn’t earning any other way. So that was almost a necessity, as well as a passion that I have. The coaching is a passion that I have, and a talent that I have, and is something that I really feel in my soul. I am in the process of writing a book, and have a publisher. The book is about empowerment---whether it’s through boxing, or whether it is through whatever job you do, transform yourself into the best you can possibly be.

TL Fox: Lucia, where can people find the information on your website to get in contact with you in regards to Rijker Striker, Inc.?

Rijker: There is a link on my website, www.luciarijker.net. There will be additional information for those who are  interested.

Thank you for taking the time to talk with WBAN about your Rijker Striker, Inc., and what you plan to do as a coach.
