Athlete. Born Kim Antonie Lode Clijsters on June 8, 1983 in Bilzen, Limburg, Belgium. Clijsters was born into an athletic family; her father, Lei, was an international soccer player and mother Els was a Belgian gymnastics champion. Clijsters chose the sport of tennis at an early age and, by the time she was six, she began competing in the sport. By 1992, Clijsters had become an accomplished amateur player. Impressed with the young Belgian's athletic abilities, tennis coach Bart Van Kerckhoven decided to coach Clijsters. With Van Kerckhoven's help, the 11-year-old Clijsters won the Belgian Junior Championship in 1994.
