Next strategic step in growth and professionalization

Slamstox is taking an important next step in its development with the establishment of an Advisory Board. With the accession of Jacques Jetten and Bob van Oosterhout, Slamstox is deliberately bringing additional experience, strategic acuity and entrepreneurship on board.

Since its founding in 2014, Slamstox has developed into an international player in coaching student-athletes who want to combine sports and studies. Since then, Slamstox has mentored more than 2,000 student-athletes, is active for athletes in more than 25 countries and works daily with universities, coaches and partners worldwide. From this growing Slamstox community, several new ideas and initiatives have emerged over the past few years and are constantly being developed.

The creation of an Advisory Board fits this phase. The goal is to continue building on scalability, focus and future-proofing, while keeping the personal and intensive support of student-athletes at the center.

We are proud to introduce the Advisory Board to you:

Jacques Jetten

Partner at Aeternus Corporate Finance

Jacques Jetten is the founder of Aeternus Corporate Finance and has broad experience in strategic issues around growth, entrepreneurship and value creation. Over the years he has assisted SMEs, scale-ups as well as corporate organizations, on both a national and international level.

With his background in corporate finance and strategic decision-making, Jacques brings an analytical and forward-looking perspective to the Advisory Board, with a specific focus on structure, scalability and long-term choices.

“Slamstox has a strong foundation, a clear positioning and an international footprint. Especially in this phase, it is valuable to look ahead strategically and stay sharp on focus and choices. I look forward to contributing to that together.” – Jacques Jetten

Bob van Oosterhout

Sports entrepreneur and former owner of Heroes Den Bosch

Bob van Oosterhout has been active in the sports world for decades as an entrepreneur, administrator and consultant. He is the former owner of basketball club Heroes Den Bosch, one of the leading sports organizations in the Netherlands, and has already worked intensively with Slamstox from that role.

In addition, Bob himself combined sports and studies in the United States, so he knows the American system inside out. His experience at the intersection of elite sports and entrepreneurship aligns strongly with Slamstox’s ambitions.

“What appeals to me is the combination of sports, education and entrepreneurship, and the ambition behind Slamstox. The next step is not in working harder, but in sharper choices and clear direction. That’s what I like to think about.” – Bob van Oosterhout

Strategic support for the next phase

The Advisory Board will support Slamstox on a strategic level. The focus is on positioning, organizational development, scalability and making choices that fit the company’s long-term ambition. The Board has no operational role, but acts as a sounding board and mirror for Slamstox’s management.

“Slamstox has experienced very nice growth and is now at a point where further professionalization is needed to reach the next level. I want to keep challenging myself and surround myself with people who keep me on my toes and help me make better decisions that contribute to the further development of the organization. With Jacques and Bob we add a tremendous amount of experience to Slamstox.” – Pedro Mol

Looking for a third consultant

Slamstox plans to eventually expand the Advisory Board with a third member. This will involve looking at someone who brings additional experience, for example in the field of international college sports, HR or entrepreneurship. More on this later.

With the establishment of the Advisory Board, Slamstox underlines its ambition to continue building a future-proof organization, supported by a strong community and a clear vision on sports, studies and personal development.

Studying and playing sports in America: a dream for many, for Slambassador Manou Meulebeek it has been reality for almost two years. Although she began with a healthy dose of doubt, she now looks back on the best choice of her life. “Slamstox not only opened doors, they gave me the confidence that I could do this.”

The first step: honesty and trust

“When I first contacted Slamstox, I had one big dream, but also a thousand questions,” Manou says. “Is it even feasible? Where on earth do I start?”

What does Slamstox actually do from a student’s perspective? Manou can now answer that question from her own experience, she is happy to share more about her experiences. When I first started talking to Pedro, the founder of Slamstox, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I told my story and indicated that I was seriously considering going to America, but that I was still unsure. That first conversation immediately felt personal and involved, like they really listened to my goals and ambitions. They also gave honest advice on whether it was possible at all and what I could expect in terms of scholarships.

That gave me the push I needed. At the end of March 2024, I cut the knot: I’m going for it!”

A flying start

From then on, the process accelerated. Where Manou thought it would take years, Slamstox showed that leaving in August, just five months later, was achievable.

Within a month I had a personal account in which all my data was conveniently collected. This included not only my school achievements, but also my athletic qualities and information about who I am as a person. This profile was actively shared with coaches from many different universities in America. In addition, Slamstox itself approached schools to increase my chances. By mid-May, there were already 48 universities interested in me, something I had never managed to do myself.

What I found particularly valuable was the guidance during contact with coaches. Slamstox gave me clear guidance: what questions to ask, what to look for and how to make a good choice. They also helped me think about an appropriate major (choice of study), something that is at least as important as the sport itself.

Within a month I had made my choice of university. From then on, a new journey began in which Slamstox completely unburdened me. They helped with collecting and completing all the necessary documents, such as NCAA registration, admission papers and other administrative requirements. They also arranged the translation of my school documents and guided me step by step with my visa application and health insurance etc.

The best choice

Now, almost two years later, Manou still enjoys her American adventure every day. The doubts of those days have given way to gratitude and tremendous personal growth. Looking back on this process, I can say that Slamstox made the difference for me between an idea and reality. They not only opened doors, but also gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. I have been in America for almost two years now and can say with full conviction that this is the best choice I have ever made, and it could not have been without Slamstox’s help and support.

Still unsure if a sports career in the United States is for you? Then schedule an introduction now! Manou’s advice is simple: “Just contact Slamstox and find out what’s possible for you. My dream became a reality, and yours can be too.”

At Slamstox, we believe in growth. Of our student-athletes, but also of our team.

As of April 1, Marle van Dessel is making the move to Head of Placement. A nice and well-deserved promotion, and an important next step for Slamstox.

About Marle

Marle has now been a fixture within Slamstox for many years and has developed into one of the driving forces within the placement team.

In recent years, Marle guided more than 250 student-athletes in their journey to America. During that time, she built a large network of coaches and universities and grew to become an important link within Slamstox.

In addition to her work with clients, Marle also plays a major role in training and mentoring young talent within the team.

The role of Head of Placement

In her new role, Marle is responsible for everything related to placement within Slamstox.

With her at the helm, we are taking the next step in the quality and impact of our counseling.

“After my own experience in America and the past few years at Slamstox, I know better than anyone how life-changing the combination of sport and study in the US is. So I am extremely proud that in my role as Head of Placement, I get to make this a reality for even more student-athletes. I want to thank Slamstox for the opportunity to work with a top team to further grow the placement department.”

Marle

In this article, we tell you more about student-athlete Teske Kreulen. In addition, at the bottom of this article you will find the video in which Teske tells more about herself.

Sports: Women’s Tennis
Entry semester: Fall 2027

This is Teske Kreulen, a tennis player from the Netherlands aged 16, living in Meppel. Teske started playing tennis when she was five years old. Until the age of 12 she also played soccer, but she stopped doing so to focus fully on tennis. Tennis always gives her a smile and she is extremely passionate about it. She currently trains both at school and in Zuidwolde, where she also plays her matches.

What makes Teske special as a person is that she is energetic and open. She loves to joke around and make people around her smile. When she really wants something, she fully puts her energy and commitment into it. In addition, she is always open to learning new things and tries to grow as much as possible through new experiences.

What really sets Teske apart as an athlete is that she has a keen understanding of her opponent’s game. She is completely focused on how she wants to play and on her goals, both during practices and games. Teske always gives everything she has, is disciplined and works hard both on and off the court. During practices, she stays focused, but she also knows how to have fun and enjoy the game.

In the future, Teske hopes to continue improving herself every day in America. She wants to learn, grow and gain new experiences. In addition, she wants to become the best tennis player she has ever been and really show what she is capable of.

“I’m a team player who brings passion for the game and makes my teammates enjoy it with me.”

Teske Kreulen

Would you like to see more from Teske? Check out the video below where she introduces herself.

2025 was a year where many things came together. Great moments, steady growth, some tension at times and above all a lot of teamwork. A year in which our community continued to grow and we took clear steps forward in what we are building together.

Looking back on 2025, what stands out most is gratitude. Gratitude for our student athletes. For the team. And for everyone who contributes every single day, often behind the scenes, to the same goal: helping young athletes combine sports and education in the best possible way.

Showcases at a high level

Our tennis, field hockey and soccer showcases reached a new level this year. More than 75 universities traveled to the Netherlands to see our athletes compete live. Not in presentations, but on the court and on the field, where it truly matters.

For many student athletes, this was their first real introduction to college coaches. For us, it once again confirmed how important it is to create the right environment to make talent visible.

Heroes Den Bosch and strong partnerships

In 2025, we started a great partnership with Heroes Den Bosch. Slamstox featured on the front of the game jersey, right in the heart of Dutch professional sports. But more important than visibility is the substance: working together to guide talent toward the next step, often toward the United States.

Partnerships like this show how sports, education and guidance can reinforce each other when everyone shares the same vision.

Teamwork beyond the field

Alongside hard work, there was also room to recharge together. Our team trip took us skiing in Landgraaf, followed by a fun night out in Maastricht. Moments like these matter. They strengthen connections and make the work we do together even more meaningful.

A challenging visa period

2025 also brought uncertainty. The announcement by Trump about limiting international students raised questions and concerns among athletes and parents.

As a team, we approached this calmly and carefully. By sharing knowledge, working through scenarios and staying in close contact with everyone involved. In the end, all student athletes starting in 2025 successfully received their visas.

New faces in the team

We also welcomed new colleagues this year. Tycho Meulebeek, Rogier Vannisselroy and Jord Malcorps joined the Slamstox team.

What makes this especially meaningful is that all three have personally combined sports and education in the United States. Tycho and Rogier even did so through Slamstox themselves. In that sense, the circle truly feels complete.

International and close to our athletes

2025 marked our first international showcase. In Dubai, we organized a showcase for soccer and basketball. A step that fits well with our international ambitions.

At the same time, we moved closer to our student athletes. By organizing more low threshold events such as try outs and evaluation days, we see our athletes more often and more clearly in action. This leads to better guidance and more realistic expectations. A win win for everyone involved.

New website and the first magazine

In 2025, we launched our new website. A platform that better reflects who we are today and where we are heading. More personal, clearer and more focused on our community.

We also released the very first Slamstox Magazine. Filled with stories, achievements and a behind the scenes look at our world.

Check out the magazine here LINK NAAR MAGAZINE!!!

Moving toward The Core

Behind the scenes, a lot of work went into preparing our next step. Starting January 2026, we will move into The Core building in Eindhoven, together with SEG and Golazo.

A new place that offers room for further growth and collaboration. More on this very soon.

Strong athletic performances

Our student athletes once again delivered impressive performances in 2025. Multiple national championships and even medals at European and World Championships. Results that show what is possible when talent, commitment and guidance come together.

Grateful and looking ahead

Finally, a word of thanks. To the Slamstox team for their daily dedication to our student athletes. To the parents for their trust and cooperation. And to our entire community.

To all the student-athletes representing Slamstox, each in their own way.

We look ahead to 2026 and the plans we will continue to build step by step.

Stay on the path, warriors!

Pedro

The world of volleyball is developing rapidly, and more and more opportunities are arising for ambitious players to develop their talents internationally. Therefore, we are proud to announce our new collaboration with MaxAgency, a partnership that opens doors for volleyball players who want to go beyond the Dutch level.

MaxAgency

MaxAgency is a full-service sports & entertainment management agency founded in 2021 by Julie Rumes and Lot Wielfaert. With strong expertise in commercial coaching and social media, MaxAgency helps athletes identify marketing opportunities and professionally manage their image rights.
Their approach perfectly matches the needs of young volleyball players who want to grow not only athletically, but also personally.

Why college volleyball in America is so special

College volleyball in the United States is one of the fastest growing sports within the college system. Every year, thousands of talents pour into universities that have

• Professional, full-time coaches and trainers
• Top sports facilities, equipped with the latest technologies, comparable or even better than top clubs in Europe
• Large halls and massive crowds, some games draw thousands of fans
• Strong competition with high intensity
• Full-day programs combining sports, studies and physical and personal development

American universities invest millions of dollars a year in their sports programs. This creates a unique environment where talent can develop at lightning speed, physically, technically and mentally.
The level is rising every year, and more and more international players are using college volleyball as a springboard to professional competitions at home and abroad.

What this partnership means for volleyball players

With the strengths of Slamstox and MaxAgency, we offer a complete development program. Together we can guide volleyball players who really want to get the most out of their careers. Where Slamstox focuses on finding the perfect university, scholarships and the complete guidance path to America, MaxAgency adds value with expertise in the field of commercial opportunities, branding and image rights.

Together we can help talented players who aim higher than the level in the Netherlands and dream of a career at the top level. We offer an additional, unique option for girls with ambition: an international springboard that combines sporting development with professional guidance off the field.

The collaboration between Slamstox and MaxAgency is all about new opportunities. For girls who want to get beyond the Dutch competition. For athletes who want to use their potential in an environment where volleyball is really big. Are you curious what opportunities there are for you in America? Or would you like to know what this cooperation can do for you? Please feel free to contact us.

Slamstox is all about mentoring talented athletes making the move to college sports in the United States. From finding the right school to obtaining a scholarship, we are there from day one. But what happens when your college adventure is over? And you’re ready to transition into the workforce?

With the addition of Athletes@Work, we greatly strengthen this route with access to a network of more than 150 companies throughout the Netherlands and specialized pathways for athletes.

Together we are creating a complete career offering for everyone returning from America:

The Slamstox After College program helps you take your first steps into the Dutch job market. And with Athletes@Work we can now offer even better customized programs, business contacts and career guidance for (former) athletes who want to discover which direction really suits them.

In short: whatever direction you choose, Slamstox remains your partner, even after college.

Why Athletes@Work?

Athletes@Work specializes in helping athletes launch their careers. They do this by:

• Providing personalized pathways to clarify interests, qualities and desired work direction.
• match athletes with companies that fit their profiles.

In September, I, Nienke, had the unique opportunity to travel to the United States in my role as International Student Athlete Coordinator and mentor for boarding school athletes. From September 9th to 17th, we were invited by GESP to visit several boarding schools and subsequently attend an educational conference, where schools from across the country and agents from around the world came together.

The trip began on Sept. 9 when I flew to Richmond, Virginia. From there we spent the next few days driving to Washington DC via Staunton, finally ending up near Philadelphia. Our first stop was The Christchurch School, beautifully located on the Virginia waterfront. Known for one of the best sailing programs in the country, this school made an immediate impression: a place where sports, nature and education come together seamlessly. What makes Christchurch, like all the other schools, very special is that over 70% of the staff live on campus. This means that there is always a point of contact for students, which makes for a close and safe community.

On Sept. 11, we continued our journey to Stuart Hall in Staunton. This school is located in the middle of a pleasant village, which many students find pleasant. In addition to sports, there is a lot of emphasis here on art and theater, allowing students to develop in multiple areas. An average day at Stuart Hall looks like this:

A typical day at Stuart Hall and all other schools has a distinct rhythm. The morning begins around 7:30 a.m. with a communal breakfast in the Dining Hall, after which students attend their first classes of the day. Around noon, lunch is ready, again in the Dining Hall.

After lunch, classes continue. In the mornings the focus is usually on the compulsory subjects, such as math and English, while the afternoons allow for electives. These include creative subjects such as drawing and photography, as well as practical directions such as woodworking and music lessons.

From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., sports take center stage. Students are then given the time and space to fully focus on their sport. Often this includes training on the field or court as well as strength and mental training.

Training sessions are followed by a mandatory one-hour study hall, designed to complete homework and finish the day academically. Then there is time to relax or catch up with friends, but by 10:30 all students must be back in their rooms. Around eleven o’clock the lights go out and the day comes to an end.

That same day we also visited the Blue Ridge School, an all-boys school where sports are the center of daily life. Boys from all over the world gather here with the goal of developing to the best of their ability and advancing to college with a good scholarship. We were given a tour by two Japanese boys from the baseball team and saw the impressive facilities. What was also special was that all the boys go to school in suits every day, which creates a formal and ambitious atmosphere. Blue Ridge is truly a place for athletes who are willing to give their all and work hard to achieve their goals.

On Friday we visited Springdale, a school that conjures up exactly the image you have of a typical American high school. It is a relatively small school with about 130 students, which ensures that there is a lot of personal attention. The newly renovated dorms add to the appeal. Springdale’s soccer team is still relatively new, but clearly under construction. What struck me most was the close bond between the boys and their coach – a factor of great value when you are an international student far from home. Later that afternoon, we visited the smallest school of the trip: West Nottingham Academy. With only 50 students, this almost feels like a family. Yet the school has a special asset, because everything there revolves around basketball. They even have a national basketball team, which provides a unique opportunity for young talents in that sport.

The next day was devoted to the Mainline Jamboree, a big soccer tournament at the Westtown School. Here some of the best boarding school teams in the country competed and many college coaches were on hand to scout talent. In the afternoon, I was given a tour of the Westtown campus. Like many other schools, sports play an important role here, especially soccer, but in addition there is also room for academic and technological development. For example, Westtown has a very successful robotics team that has become U.S. champions several times.

After all these school visits, it was time for the conference itself. About 50 schools were in attendance and in a sort of speed dating format we were able to meet representatives, discuss profiles of athletes and learn more about the opportunities these schools offer. It was fun to talk to schools where athletes of ours are already attending, but also inspiring to get to know new schools. Among other things, we got in touch with a school with an excellent ballet program and even one with its own ski academy.

Looking back, it was an intensive but incredibly valuable trip. It was special to see so many different schools, from small and intimate academies to larger institutions with impressive facilities. For our boarding school athletes, this means that we can advise and guide them even better in finding the right place in the US an environment where they can get the best out of themselves not only in their sport, but also as a person.

Slamstox is all about mentoring talented athletes who are making the move to college sports in the United States. From finding the right school to obtaining a scholarship, we are there from day one. But what happens when that college adventure is over?

We have something great for that: a new partnership with Northbridge.

Complete pathway for student-athletes

With Slamstox we help student-athletes make their dream come true: study and play sports in America. But for many athletes there is also the question: how can I start my career after my studies?

Until now, with our After College program we already offered guidance for student-athletes who return to the Netherlands and want to start their career at partner companies. With the addition of Northbridge we now also open the route for athletes who want to stay in the US after their studies and build their careers there.

This is how we create a complete offering:

• Slamstox will accompany you to college and during your student-athlete adventure.
• After College program helps you get a career start in the Netherlands.
• Northbridge supports you in finding a job and visa in the US.

In short: whatever route you choose, Slamstox remains your partner, even after college!

Your adventure does not stop at the final whistle

At Slamstox, we guide student-athletes from A to Z. With our After College program and our partnership with Northbridge, we’re expanding that guidance: whether you choose to pursue a career in the Netherlands or in the U.S., we’ll make sure you’re well prepared to take the next step.
