Sports career

Poldervaart played in his youth and senior career exclusively for OHVV Oudenhorn. [1] Poldervaart was hired in 1992 as a sports physiotherapist at Excelsior Rotterdam. He has also been a physiotherapist for VV Nieuwenhoorn. [1]

Next to being a physiotherapist at Excelsior, in 1998 he became player/manager at OHVV. In 2001 Poldervaart became an assistant coach and in 2002 coach for VV Nieuwenhoorn. [1] In 2005 he moved on to VV Spijkenisse. Only in 2012, he changed again, this time for VV Zwaluwen. For his achievements at Zwaluwen Poldervaart received the Rinus Michels Award. [2] From 2015 to 2018 he coached BVV Barendrecht.

In 2018 Poldervaart became the manager of Excelsior. He replaced Mitchell van der Gaag who left for NAC Breda. After 26 year Poldervaart stopped working as Excelsior's physiotherapist. [3] In 2019, after disappointing results, he stopped coaching Excelsior. Instead, Poldervaart became the assistant coach of FC Groningen. [4]

On 10 May 2022, De Graafschap appointed Poldervaart as head coach on a two-year deal, effective from 1 July, replacing Reinier Robbemond. [5]

In February of 2023 he was hospitalized with Guillain–Barré syndrome. [6] His assistant Richard Roelofsen would take over for the remainder of the season. After the end of the 2022-2023 season De Graafschap announced that they had parted ways with Poldervaart, but would assist him during his continuing physical rehabilitation. [7]
