From then...
Becoming a professional football player was my biggest dream since I was a kid. At fourteen, I was scouted by FC Dordrecht, and for the first time, that dream felt truly within reach.
Around that same time, I discovered freestyle football - an urban sport where you use your whole body to perform creative and spectacular tricks with a ball. Before I knew it, I was spending hours practicing nonstop.
To reach the top, I knew I had to make a choice. With all my heart, I chose freestyle football as my path and said goodbye to a potential career in regular football.
...to now
Freestyle football has brought me a lot. By participating in (international) competitions and performing shows, I grew from an insecure, introverted boy into an entrepreneurial and self-assured person.
I made it to the Top 16 of the World twice, started my own company FRØST and broke two world records. I also built a strong fan base and now reach hundreds of thousands of people daily through my social media channels.
In other words: I have been able to turn my passion into my job. And I am very grateful for that! I travel the world with my ball and inspire other along the way with my story and skills.
FRØST
In 2023, Bailey launched the freestyle football brand FRØST. With a mission to grow the sport and community. It became an instant success and the collection now consists of high-quality products, such as balls, t-shirts, bags and a ball holder.
Graduated!
In between freestyling, content creation and business, Bailey also completed the International Bachelor of Psychology at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. He is able to effectively use his knowledge of human behavior in his work.
Plant-based
At the age of 18, Bailey made the decision to go completely plant-based. This choice was mainly driven by the health benefits. Since then, animal rights and the climate have also been strong reasons for him to maintain a vegan lifestyle.
