Jack de Gier is a former professional football player, trainer, FIFA Football Agent and performance coach. With an impressive career in professional soccer as well as years of experience in coaching players and trainers, as a speaker he shares honest insights about top sport, career planning, dealing with pressure and sustainable success. His story is practical, recognizable and inspiring for both sports and business audiences.

As a speaker, Jack combines his experiences as a player, trainer and agent into an open and realistic story. He talks about career planning, transfers, contract negotiations, mental resilience and dealing with pressure, media and expectations. In doing so, he constantly makes the link between top sports and business: performing under pressure, making choices, dealing with setbacks and building sustainable success.

Jack can be used for lectures, corporate and product presentations, podcasts, media appearances and guest roles. His style is accessible, honest and interactive, with plenty of room for questions from the audience.

After his playing career, Jack remained active in soccer. He worked as a trainer, became a FIFA Football Agent (with authority to also represent underage players) and with DGoal focuses on management and performance coaching of players and trainers. From that role he guides talents, professionals and their families in all facets of a (future) professional career.

Jack de Gier made his debut as a professional footballer with BVV Den Bosch and ended his active career with FC Twente. In total he played 413 matches at professional level and scored 139 goals. A special moment in his career was his debut for FC Twente: after his transfer from Dunfermline Athletic he scored within one minute for his new club. In the 1990/1991 season at Den Bosch he scored 23 goals, which earned him the nickname "El Buitre" (the vulture).

With years of experience as a player, trainer, technical director, scout, soccer analyst and entrepreneur, Jack de Gier inspires with stories from the locker rooms, the field and the stands, always focused on your audience.
