Personal Message from Wes:

Life as a student-athlete at Tulsa is a dream come true for me. Here, I have the opportunity to develop myself every day in the realms of sports, academics, and personally. Traveling for exciting away games, living independently, and being part of a university family are unique experiences I could never have had in the Netherlands. In our team, filled with diverse nationalities, we are on a promising path to compete for top honors this year. Additionally, I receive excellent guidance to push myself to the fullest academically. I notice that here in America, compared to the Netherlands, I can better balance my studies and high-level football to perform optimally in both areas.

I believe that guidance in the recruitment process is essential to choose the right school. With the assistance of Plus31, I have been able to leverage the company's network in America. Without them, I would never have connected with a school like TU. Their guidance has also been instrumental in helping me navigate conversations with universities. Moreover, I would have struggled with the extensive paperwork on my own, and Plus31 has been invaluable in providing support in this aspect.
