Patrick Oudejans The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe

Patrick Oudejans is an accomplished sports coach and educator, launching his career in 2005 with a focus on working with children aged 6-12. He graduated with an Honors Bachelor's degree in Sports Management and Business in 2014, notably conducting his thesis at the prestigious AFC Ajax youth academy. Patrick's journey led him to Ajax in 2013 as a Data Analyst, where he contributed to the implementation of Plan Cruyff and ventured internationally to explore football environments. Transitioning to Cruyff Football in 2015, he expanded his influence globally, ultimately moving to Beijing in 2017 to successfully pilot sports integration into Montessori environments. This accomplishment led to the establishment of two fully operational CASA programs. Co-founding Montessori Sports in 2018, Patrick's passion for enhancing education through sports continued, and in response to the pandemic, he created an AMI-accredited program in 2020 for seamlessly integrating sports into children's daily activities, further solidifying his commitment to educational improvement through sports.
