Charlee Underwood, 1st year professional Jyvaskyla, Finland: After playing college basketball at Cal State Fullerton, I wasn't sure what was next for me. I found the Slammers Basketball Agency and Iska Waterloh as the agent, and things became more clearer for me. Iska is very straight forward and trustworthy. She puts everything into her players and she finds jobs quickly. I was signed to HonSu in Finland before the summer. I would definitely recommend this agent and agency to any player who is serious about playing professional basketball, you will be well represented.

My name is Lizanne Murphy, I am from Canada and I graduated from Hofstra University (NCCA D1) in May 2007
.  Iska has been a tremendous help during my first year playing professionally overseas; she is in contact with me making sure that everything is alright; and any concerns I have had she took care of right away.  She was also very careful to make sure that I ended it in a situation on a team that was beneficial to me where the club had a good reputation with their players.  I think she is a very good agent who takes care of her players to make sure they are happy.

Amanda Davidson: I have been working with Iska these past two years and will be working with her again this season.  I really enjoy her as an agent.  She makes playing even easier.  all you have to worry about is your game and she takes care of the rest.  She answers any questions you have within minutes and if she can't she will find it out and call you back as soon as she knows.  It is a great agency to work with and I would definitely recommend her as an agent to anyone. 

Jón Halldór Eðvaldsson Head Coach Keflavík Basketball Club, Iceland:  I have been working close with Slammers to find a player for my team and I can confirm that they worked very hard to fulfil the needs I had for my team.I have developed very good relationship with the agency, It´s really easy to get a hold of the agency, that story is not with many of the agency´s around Europe. So I recommend Slammers. Great personal service. 

Joao Oliveira CDPóvoa/Portugal Basketball Department Manager:  Working with Slammers basketball has been a very positive experience because teams get in time profiles and dvd's, we get what Iska tells us about the player and she has a flexible and right way to approach any situation that we might need to adjust. The players get deep and broad exposure thru her contacts all over Europe and contracts with teams that she knows.
 
Piergiorgio Manfré, headcoach Canti Riva Basket Ceresio, Switzerland: I have been working with Slammers to find a player for my team: 2005-06, 2006-07 Stephanie Jones (Nebraska, NCAA 1) 2007-08 Jocelyn Logan-Friend (Verginia, NCAA1) and we can confirm that they worked hard to full fill the needs I had for my team. We have developed a very good relationship with the agency and it´s really easy to get a hold of them, that is not with so many agents. We recommend Slammers. They do a great personal service.

Siesta Pettiford : I must say, I'm very pleased with the service and enjoy working with slammers. You all are very professional and respond to your player in due time. I'm from Oklahoma panhandle state university. and slammers has put me in a position to play overseas in several countries... My contract is in order and works for me the player and i have received every things that was stated in my contract. im very pleased and happy with the organization as a hole...Thank you

Megan Griffith, January 25, 2008:  After exhausting my eligibility as a Division 1 collegiate women’s basketball player at Columbia University in New York City, I was certain that I wanted to pursue opportunities to play overseas.  Knowing that I must find an agent, a close friend of mine playing in second league Germany recommended the services of her current agent, Iska Waterloh.  After several exchanged emails and phone conversations with Iska, I felt very comfortable and confident that she had my best interest as a player at heart.  She reassured me that I was good fit for the Slammer’s Basketball Player Agency and submitted a formal contract outlining her obligations to me as an agent and mine to her as a player.  She immediately started searching for potential opportunities for me to play in Europe and was always quick to respond via email to any questions I proposed.  Currently I am playing in First Division Finland, and Iska has made it a point to check in with me every month or so to see how she can be of assistance.  I have been very happy with her services up until this point, and I plan on keeping her as an agent in the future.  I would absolutely recommend the Slammer’s Basketball Agency to any players looking to further their basketball careers.

Markus Jochum Headcoach Leimen (DBBL 2): In my 8 years as a headcoach in 2nd division teams in germany I made a lot experience with agencys in Europe an the US. Slammers is one of the most serious agencys I have been working with. For me it is essential working with an agent who knows the conditions in the division, where I am working. I expect, that an agency is looking for a good concept for their players, that they can improove and have a future in basketball. To me, Slammers Basketball is the first adress to contact in recruiting players.

My name is Isabelle Grenier, i am from Québec, Canada.  I ve been playing professional since 5 years and Iska has been my agent since 4 years.  I played in Dorsten, Halle and Berlin in Germany.  Since i am playing overseas i had to deal with lot s of problems, and having Iska as a agent was the best thing for me.  Always being there for me, answering phone call whenever i called, replying to emails, even invited me to her place when i had a hard time in my personnal life.  Iska was always there for me, answering my questions and always making sure i am happy.  I heard a lot about other agent who are not available when athletes need them...and believe me...it s not like that with her.  You can count on her anytime.

My name is Ashley Wallace.  I played basketball at Pace University, an NCAA division II institution, and graduated in May 2007.  I always knew that I wanted to continue to play basketball after I graduated but I wasn't sure what opportunities existed for a division II player outside the United States.  As luck would have it, I was recommended to Iska and I decided to attend her exposure camp in Bonn, Germany.  There I got an offer to play for a first division team (TLU/Volta) in Tallinn, Estonia.  I got a great contract for a first year player out of college and I am so happy with where I ended up! I've met so many people, visited interesting places and experienced new cultures and I wouldn't have gotten here without Iska's help.

Hi my name is Jessica Butler, I graduated from Canisius College (NCAA, Div. 1) and a current client of Iska. This past season I had the opportunity to work with Iska and Slammers for the first year and have been very content and happy with the service.  Since the time I signed as a client I have been in continuous contact with Iska.  I have played overseas for a few years now and have had alot of different experiences with agents; with Iska I was very impressed on how fast she was able to find me a job and work out a beneficial contract for me as a player.  She makes sure the team follows through with all that was promised in my agreements, allowing me to never hesistate to contact her with any questions or problems I may be having. When you are traveling overseas and playing basketball in another country, it is important to be able to rely on your agent for anything you need, Iska makes this possible. I highly reccomend her. 

Polona Oberc from Slovenia:  "Iska was a tremendous help for me after I had a bad experience with another agent. Because of that I have to say I was a little skeptic at first, but Iska really came through for me. It was late in the summer and even though most of the teams have closed their rosters, she managed to find me a good offer here in Italy. She always answers my numerous questions and makes sure to always check that everything is going ok. Whenever I mention who my agent is, I always hear just positive things, which shows she has good connections and people in this business really respect her. I would definitely recommend Slammers for anyone that wants to pursue their professional career in basketball. "

Mikko Tupamäki, head coach  of Team HoNsU  (1st division in Finland): I contacted Slammers agency last spring to find players for our Club and I can honestly say that with the budget we have, I couldn.t have gotten better players. Ive been very pleased with the way Iska has handled everything and also I´ve been impressed by her willingness to look after her players throughout the season. It has been allways easy to contact Slammers agency and get all necessary matters settled within a short period of time, which I think is extremely important and can not be said about many other agencies. I can sincerely recommend Slammers agency for both players who look to pursue a career in professional basketball and clubs in search of new players to their roster.
