Youth basketball coach and mentor

Dutch

I've coached basketball at Haarlem St. Mary's Sports Club since 1982. Most of my players were between 11 and 14, and a lot of them turned into friends for life. My best seasons were the ones we lost most games and still showed up every Tuesday. I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.

More about Jasper

Some of my former players now coach their own teams, which is the best thank-you I could ask for.

What gifts mean to Jasper: A gift would go toward kit and bus fares for kids who can't afford them.
