Joost Kooistra Sportmanagement proudly announces a new partnership with KingsTalent. Through this collaboration, both parties join forces to optimally support male and female volleyball players in achieving their athletic and academic ambitions—both in the United States and upon their return to the Netherlands.
A Shared Mission
KingsTalent and Joost Kooistra Sportmanagement share a clear vision: guiding talented athletes toward a sustainable and successful future. Over the past years, KingsTalent has proven itself as a reliable partner in placing students at American universities, while Joost Kooistra brings in-depth knowledge and a strong network within the volleyball world.
This combination of expertise creates a solid foundation on which athletes can build their next step.
The Step to the United States
For many volleyball players, a combined sports and academic journey in the United States is a unique opportunity. Within this process, Joost Kooistra plays an important role as a key knowledge resource.

Guidance Upon Returning to the Netherlands
This partnership focuses not only on the transition to the United States but also on the phase that follows. An increasing number of athletes return to the Netherlands after completing their studies, where proper guidance is essential.
Both parties are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. This includes repositioning within the Dutch volleyball landscape, leveraging international experience, and identifying suitable next steps—both athletically and professionally.
An important part of the collaboration is that Joost Kooistra will actively support KingsTalent in identifying and recruiting new talent. With his keen eye for quality and strong involvement in the sport, he contributes to further strengthening the network and impact of KingsTalent.
