Second debut this month.
Second 16-year-old.

After Zinhagel, now Grootfaam (16.1) — our youngest ever.

These milestones may look individual, but they’re built on the consistent work of our staff and family behind the scenes.

Encouraging to see that more and more clubs and federations are starting to work with Coach Intelligence Lab.

For a long time, conversations about coaching quality have mainly been based on observation and interpretation. Now we can analyse coaching objectively!

[Zeb Jacobs @ZebJacobs]

Great to see our Feyenoord U16 players (+25%) challenged in Portugal with their country 🇳🇱 — different opponents, higher demands and great exposure. Variability in their games programme matters!
