    Dad played National Team (33 apps) and pro field hockey in Utrecht as a "strong" defender. Won a silver at the European Championships. Mom, Daneille Scheltens, was also a U19 Dutch National Team field hockey player "quick and explosive right winger" according to her son.

    Dad was a fellow at Mass. General from 99-00.

    "Dr J.P.E.N. Pierie has been appointed professor of Endoscopic Surgery, in particular of teaching and training, on 1 February 2011 at the University Medical Center Groningen.

    Jean-Pierre Pierie (Ede, 1967) studied medicine at Utrecht University. In 1995 he was awarded a PhD by the same university for a thesis entitled ‘Healing of the cervical oesophago-gastrostomy’. He followed the gastro-intestinal oncological surgery programme at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, and also the gastro-intestinal surgery specialization of the surgery programme at Utrecht University. Pierie has worked as a surgeon and lecturer at the Medisch Centrum Leeuwarden since 2001, and has also been teaching at UMCG since 2002."

    You know, some guys have no drive and no ambition...

    Voetbal International, the most prominent Dutch football magazine, has released their annual Season Guide. It has Kik Pierie with the SC Heerenveen senior team. According to VI, he is the youngest player to be on a senior team roster for this season in the top two Dutch divisions, meaning both the Eredivisie and the Jupiler League/Eerste Divisie. VI calls him a "Frisian phenomenon." (Heerenveen is located in the province of Frisia/Friesland.) Kik comments on the fast track he's taken:

    So, there you go. By all indications, an American-born left-footed center-back/left-back who idolizes Jan Vertonghen has made an Eredivisie roster at the age of 16.

    I recently found out that the on line university courses of the Frisian laguage are very popular in Canada and the USA. So when you want to come over, you should join that Frisia fanclub...or is your Frisian still impeccable?

    By the way, if I'm right the BBC named the Heerenveen shirt one of the top ten ugliest club shirts. Hahaha, the .....British...

    Maybe it's just nostalgia from the early Bradley days, but I've always been fond of Heerenveen's shirt.

    Kik wasn't in the squad for Heerenveen's draw with AZ Alkmaar, nor today vs. Rubio Rubin's Utrecht. He's probably been sent back down to Heerenveen U-19 as his Transfermarkt page says. Still wouldn't rule out seeing some first-team action this season.

    Kik Pierie tekent zijn eerste profcontract

    [​IMG]
    Sc Heerenveen heeft woensdagmiddag verdediger Kik Pierie vastgelegd. De speler van de B1 tekende zijn eerste profcontract bij de Friezen.

    Kik is niet de enige 'Pierie' bij de ploeg uit het Fryske Haagje. Oudere broer Stijn speelt namelijk ook bij sc Heerenveen en tekende kortgeleden ook zijn eerste profcontract bij de pompenblêdenformatie. Daarnaast speel ook jongere broer Take in de jeugdopleiding van de Friezen.

    Verdediger Pierie mocht ook meespelen in de gewonnen bekerfinale van de A1. Deze finale draaide op strafschoppen uit waarbij de middelste van de drie broers ook mocht aanleggen vanaf elf meter en deze penalty benutte."

    In gesprek met ELF Voetbal Magazine bevestigt de tiener, die aanvoerder van Oranje onder 16 is, dat hij over interesse niet te klagen heeft. "Als je met Nederland op grote toernooien in het buitenland speelt, dan val je op. Er zijn dus inderdaad grote binnen- en buitenlandse clubs die zich bij mijn zaakwaarnemer hebben gemeld. Maar bij sc Heerenveen is de kans op een doorbraak veel groter dan bij een club met heel veel spelers."

    "Bovendien doen ze er hier alles aan om mij verder te helpen in mijn ontwikkeling. Ook dat is enorm belangrijk", vervolgt de linksbenige stopper. "Daarom heb ik een contract getekend bij Heerenveen en wil ik gewoon debuteren in Friesland."

"When you play in big tournaments abroad with the Netherlands, then you fall on . So there are indeed major domestic and foreign clubs that have registered with my agent .

    " They do everything here to help me in my development . That is hugely important," the left-footed stopper continues. "That's why I signed a contract with Heerenveen and I just want to debut in Friesland. "

    On the bench today for the first time.

    FWIW - the Eredivisie has adopted larger bench rules this season like Serie A did a year or two ago. Pierie is one of nine substitutes.

    Yesterday, he started for Oranje U-17 in their U-17 Euro qualifying match vs. Denmark, which I believe provisionally cap-ties him. Still, it doesn't change all that much -- the Netherlands was always his first choice.
