This is me: Kay Smits

THIS IS ME: Flensburg’s Dutch right back talks about family, career, and health


How much top-level handball can fit into one family? SG Flensburg-Handewitt right back Kay Smits is the youngest member of a family of five — all are or were Dutch internationals; father Gino, mother Cecile, brother Jorn, and sister Inger. In this episode of This is Me, 27-year-old Kay Smits reflects on growing up in a handball-mad family and his rise to the top of the sport, as he opens up about the most difficult period of his career, when a heart issue sidelined him for several months last season.
