He led the team that won the silver medal at the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 and the gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. After the Olympic Games in Beijing, Lammers stepped down as coach to the national team. As a player he took part in five international competitions for the Dutch national men’s field hockey team. Lammers played for 16 years in the Dutch Major League for the Oranje Zwart Club and ‘s-Hertogenbosch Hockey Club.

After several years as coach to various youth teams at the end of the Nineties, Lammers was appointed assistant to Tom van ‘t Hek for the Dutch national women’s field hockey team.
