From a very young age, I loved to coach and train myself and practice self-discipline. Following this natural interest in improving these abilities it took me through many different fields and levels of sports.

Through my constant learning as an observer, as well as a performer continuously reflecting on the endless and various aspects connected with football, sports and coaching, I was able to find my unique way. The key is a simple and effective approach designing joyful and tailor-made physical, technical and nutritional programs for the individual player’s needs and also teams.

Since 2008 I have been very fortunate to be coached by the international Sports Performance Consultant and renowned Mental Coach, Bernard Payet. He has given me real insight and broadened my perception on how an individual’s mental qualities reflect and react in a very real and different way physically and technically.

Over the years of experience I have come to a final conclusion as a player and coach. Players who are progressive in their mental attitude will certainly continue to improve in their self-confidence. They become more flowing, powerful and spontaneous in their rhythm of movement and at the same time they can acquire a greater potential for creativity.

Being very aware of this practical reality enables me to create an effective training program by putting together the specific fundamentals of the sport, the individual physical constitution, the player’s nutrition, his or her individual technical abilities and the mental development as one comprehensive aspect. 

My special interest, as a Diploma Sports-Scientist, has always been directed towards the design of programs during the recovery process after injuries or surgeries. This gave me a profound knowledge on the core medical side. Furthermore, I worked with Günther Kern, who was the physical coach of two German Bundesliga Champions (VFL Wolfsburg 2009/10 and VFB Stuttgart 2006/07). Because he is one of the best coaches specialized in speed training, I decided to focus my diploma thesis on this specific issue. In both practical fields I worked with athletes and players, at the highest level of sports in professional institutions such as Traunmed – Sports and Rehabilitation-Center in Traunreut, Bavaria, and STS – Speed Training Systems in Heimstetten, Munich.

In February 2015 I acquired the German Football A-Licence under the leadership of two DFB-Head-Coaches, Bernd Stöber and Ralf Peter, who have also coached several German National Youth Teams. It has been a very fruitful experience to work with these eminent coaches, not only on the football pitch but also off the field.
