About Lisa Deen

Since 2006, I’ve written for various newspapers, magazines and websites.

My passion for sports journalism started when I was sixteen years old and invited to cover the ‘Unive Gym Gala’, a gymnastics show in The Netherlands.

After a quick look behind the scenes and a couple of interviews I knew this was what I wanted to do for the years following: reporting about sports and sharing the stories behind the medals.

During my Bachelor of Journalism, I started to work as a freelance sports journalist. I covered competitions, visited training sessions and conducted numerous interviews.

I graduated in 2011 and in 2014 achieved a Master’s in International Sports Management.

Sports, journalism and traveling are my three biggest passions. I love to combine them and fortunately that happens quite often! As a freelance sports journalist, I travel around the world to write stories and cover events.

As a freelancer, I serve various clients. I worked as a news service reporter at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, the 2019 Pan & Parapan American Games, the Baku 2015 European Games and the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Besides my passion for sports journalism, I love to do workouts in the CrossFit box and I spend countless hours reading books.

I guess you already know my favorite country, based on my company name: Portugal, where I lived for two-and-a-half years.

Bom Dia Lisa

Between 2016 and mid-2018, I lived in Lisbon (Portugal). Even though I’m back in Netherlands right now, the love for Portugal will always remain.

My own company is called Bom Dia Lisa, which can be translated as ‘Hi/Good Morning Lisa’).
