About Marle<\/h2>\n\n
Marle has now been a fixture within Slamstox for many years and has developed into one of the driving forces within the placement team.<\/p>\n\n Her background as a student-athlete provides a strong foundation in this. For example, she herself played four years of college field hockey at the Division 1 level at Virginia Commonwealth University and also gained work experience within the athletic department at Georgia Southern University. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n 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. <\/p>\n\n In addition to her work with clients, Marle also plays a major role in training and mentoring young talent within the team.<\/p>\n\n In her new role, Marle is responsible for everything related to placement within Slamstox.<\/p>\n\n From coaching field hockey stretches to managing the team and further developing how we support our student-athletes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n With her at the helm, we are taking the next step in the quality and impact of our counseling.<\/p>\n\n “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.” Slamstox has grown rapidly in recent years. More and more student-athletes are finding their way to America through us, and that growth requires further professionalization. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Marle’s appointment as Head of Placement fits perfectly into that development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n We continue to build a team ready for the next phase and continue to invest in quality, personal guidance and results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/p>\n\n “Marle has shown over the past few years that she not only understands the process, but truly makes a difference for our student-athletes. This move is more than deserved and I am confident that she will take placement to an even higher level.” <\/p>\n\n With this move, we continue to do what Slamstox stands for:<\/p>\n\n ???? Helping student-athletes realize their dreams and get the most out of their sports and studies.<\/p>\n\n Let’s keep changing the game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Slamstox, we believe in growth.
