Fun Facts about Tess

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

She studied nutrition and dietetics while playing.

She said she enjoys winning the ball so much that being called a “ball winner” feels like a compliment to her.

Her dad was a coach, and he once took her to a training at SVM Marknesse as a little kid—she says she was “sold” immediately and wanted to keep playing.

She spent nearly a month in Costa Rica at the 2022 U20 World Cup, describing long travel with a stopover in Panama, police escorts to training, and fans asking for photos at a mall next to the team hotel.
