In 2014, I returned from my college tennis adventure at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). It was a time that shaped my life—the combination of top-level sports and high-level education, building friendships across the globe, and discovering my own potential. When I came back to the Netherlands, I had one clear goal: to give other young athletes the same opportunity I had. And that’s how Slamstox was born.

Now, ten years later, I realize we’ve built something truly special. Did I ever imagine that Slamstox would grow into what it is today? Absolutely not. But at the same time, it feels like we’re just getting started. Over the past years, we’ve accomplished so much to be proud of, yet there are still countless opportunities and innovations ahead of us.

The Early Years: A Great Learning Curve

For the first five years, I ran Slamstox alongside my job as an investment banker. It was a great challenge—working in finance by day, and on my passion project by night and on weekends. Still, it gave me a unique balance and the energy to keep pushing forward. In 2019, I decided to take the leap and go full-time with Slamstox. This was also the moment I moved to the SX Building in Eindhoven. That decision marked the start of a period of significant growth.

The Numbers

Looking back at the past ten years, there are a few statistics I’m incredibly proud of. We’ve had the privilege to guide nearly 1500 student-athletes, now spread across 49 U.S. states—Alaska is the last one still to come! Our student-athletes have collectively secured an impressive $125 million in scholarships. Two of our talents have even made it to the Olympic Games, and we’ve guided multiple European and world champions.

But perhaps the most amazing achievement is that we’ve coached countless national champions and claimed no less than seven National Championships in the U.S. We’ve grown into an international community of student-athletes from more than 25 countries, all with one goal: to maximize their potential both in sports and academics.

A Growing Community

What makes Slamstox unique is the community we’ve built together. Our student-athletes are not just athletes. They’re young people striving for personal growth every single day, both on the field and in the classroom. We don’t just work for them; we work with them. Whether you’re a future Olympic champion or someone who simply wants to be the best version of themselves, we’re here for you.

At Slamstox, we believe every student-athlete can achieve the maximum in their career, regardless of their level. It’s not just about performance; it’s about the experience. We are here to help, guide, and support you at every step of your journey.

The Future: We’ve Only Just Begun

Ten years of Slamstox feels like a milestone, but I’m convinced that the best is yet to come. Innovation is in our DNA. We continue to work on new ways to better support our student-athletes, with plans to expand our services further in Europe and forge new partnerships.

We keep dreaming. We keep building. And above all, we remain committed to providing the ultimate student-athlete experience to as many young talents worldwide as possible.

To everyone who has been part of the Slamstox community—thank you for your trust, energy, and passion. Together, we’ve written a small chapter of history. And this is just the beginning. Let’s change the game together!
