Danny Nelissen, working for Eurosport and former professional cyclist: "After investigating several MBA programs, I decided to do the International Master of Sport Management (MISM) ‘at Cruyff’, because of the sport related and practical approach. It was an enriching experience. Easy things are easy to achieve, but are rarely a challenge. The MISM was daring. To have challenges in your life is really important. They keep you alive."
Laura van Velzen, alumnus Master in Coaching : “Having a personal coach allows flexibility. It provides you with an opportunity to work on personal areas of development. This approach enriches your personal journey to improve yourself as a person and as a coach.”
