ACCOlADES:
Valentijn:
“I am somebody who will do anything to improve. I am disciplined and coachable in my approach. I easily make friends, love talking and listening to other people, and I think that makes me a great person to work with. I am a modest person, and I think many people would describe me as calm and always under control.”
WIndmills:
“Valentijn is a 2006-born Dutch midfielder who stands out for his intelligence, composure, and consistency. Operating as a central or defensive midfielder, Valentijn dictates tempo through clean distribution and sharp decision-making. His passing range allows him to switch play with precision, while his calmness under pressure keeps possession flowing in tight spaces.
After earning promotion to V.O.C.’s U23 squad at just 17 — competing in the third-highest Dutch league — Valentijn proved capable of handling senior-level competition. During his freshman season at Luther College, he played a key role in their ARC Conference Championship run. As a strong student with a 3.75 GPA, he brings the same discipline and focus to academics as he does to football.
Valentijn is a steady, team-first player whose intelligence, positioning, and work ethic make him a reliable presence in any possession oriented system.”
