What is Sporttop?
Sporttop is a concrete contribution to the development of Olympic talent in the Netherlands to identify early talent and select over the boundaries of the relevant unions. A mentor transfers knowledge, experience, tips and advice on a talent from other sports.

The mentors also helps within their own network the highly talented, to regulate products, services and possible funding. The talents selected by us rely at least a year on the knowledge, experience and a network of mentors.
Mentors have an appointment with their talent about the way they interact with each other. This may be through telephone, email, MSN, etc. Also they will meet each other occasionally, either on their own initiative or at one of our organized events.

The starting point is that a talent monthly reports to the mentor. Various companies act as sponsors of Sporttop. These companies provide products, services or financial resources to the benefit of the talents, with the aim to structurally lower the costs related to top sport.
