It might be clear that we are looking forward to the cooperation.”
Jakko: “After more than 10 years working in different positions at FC Twente and PEC Zwolle, I am happy to get a chance to work with people on the technical side of football. After some good conversations with Giels and Gert-Jan it quickly became clear to me that the potential of SciSports is huge and the drive and ambition to create a unique added value for clubs, players, agents and sports associations is in the DNA of this company. The passion for the product and the energetic way in which SciSports and BallJames are currently growing was of decisive importance in my choice for SciSports.
