Two new faces at Showcase Basketball: passion, growth and impact

Noël, 25, born and raised in Rotterdam, is a true basketball fanatic who has already made his mark on the court. From a young age, his life has revolved around basketball, and this sport has shaped him into the person he is today. His passion extends beyond the game itself: Noël is energized by training and coaching others. He gets a tremendous kick out of seeing people grow physically, mentally, and in their self-confidence. Driven by progression, discipline, and knowledge sharing, Noël is an asset to the team.

Why Noël chooses Showcase Basketball

Noël decided to intern at Showcase Basketball because he saw opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally. After his first conversation with Galdino, he immediately felt there was much to learn. He also felt there was room for development. The opportunities created at Showcase Basketball allow him to do what he loves: continuously challenging himself and growing on the professional field. Noël particularly enjoys training and coaching children and young people; he loves passing on his own experiences and lessons to the next generation.

Besides Noël, we also welcome Aymane Ayoub El Maroudi, 21, a sports marketing and management intern at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. Aymane is driven by his faith and the desire to leave a positive impression on everyone he meets.
At Showcase Basketball, he was given the challenge of developing a content strategy, and he finds that you learn here in a way you don't find anywhere else. The unique learning environment and the freedom to experiment make this internship particularly valuable for him.

Practical fun and memorable moments

For Aymane, the best part of his internship is helping with the basketball workshops of the Basketball With Impact foundation at De Regenboog primary school. The children's energy is infectious.ly, and every time he finds it satisfying to teach them something new. One moment Aymane will never forget was during Rotterdam Street Culture Week: he played with his father in the SB "Connect 4" basketball game. The score is never discussed, but the fun was unforgettable!
