I have been officially part of ESA since I was 15, and I couldn’t be happier with my agents. The entire ESA family is filled with compassionate people who are always there for you. Richard and Dirk, in particular, have played a significant role in my life, supporting me to the fullest in every way possible.

I’ve been with ESA for around 8 years, and I’ve always had a great relationship with everyone there. They are always deeply involved in my career, helping me figure out the right steps to take. When it comes to negotiations, they ensure I get the best possible deal. Even during the off-season, they’re there to train with me and keep me in top shape.

Our family has been connected to ESA for over 20 years. From the age of 16 until 33, ESA supported me throughout my entire career. It’s more than just a company—it’s a true family business: loyal, transparent, and always dedicated to achieving the best for their players. Now, my son, Jairo Beerens, is also being guided by the professionals at ESA.

PSV

Dirk, my “agent,” has been so much more than that for the past 16 years—he’s been a friend, a father figure, and a role model. He’s always there for me, both professionally and personally, even during difficult times. His trust, honesty, and dedication set him apart. I’m truly grateful for him and hope he can guide many more players in the same way he’s supported me.
