About Me
I grew up in Germany and developed my competitive tennis early, before refining my game in Austria under the guidance of renowned coach Håkan Dahlbo.
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked across Europe and the Middle East as a High-Performance Coach, Head Pro, and Academy Manager, combining technical excellence with a structured and holistic development approach.
My coaching integrates physical training, mental structure, and breathwork, aiming to develop players not only technically, but as complete performers.
Outside of tennis, I am deeply interested in personal development, awareness training, and building systems that help people perform under pressure and stay centered.
I’m also a father of two, which continues to shape my perspective on responsibility, growth, and long-term development — both on and off the court.
I am currently open to new coaching opportunities in high-performance academies, clubs, or federations internationally. My focus is on creating long-term impact, building strong teams, and supporting players in reaching their full potential — both on and off the court. I bring leadership, structure, and a deeply human approach to everything I do.
Experience
Currently working as a High Performance Coach at Orosport Academy in Bern, Switzerland (since January 2026), operating within a structured academy environment and delivering high-volume coaching to competitive players.
I have over 20 years of international experience as a High-Performance Tennis Coach, Head Pro, and Academy Manager, working across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the UAE, and Russia.
I developed as a player under renowned coach Håkan Dahlbo in Austria and later worked alongside him at the ESTESS Academy in Seefeld, contributing to the development of top junior and professional players.
I served as a full-time Touring Coach for WTA player Margarita Gasparyan, supporting her comeback and coaching at major tournaments including the Australian Open, Kremlin Cup, and ASB Classic.
My experience spans from grassroots to elite performance: I have managed clubs, built successful junior and adult programs, mentored coaching teams, and integrated physical, mental, and breathwork-based training into performance environments.
My mission is to develop complete athletes — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and to create structured systems that allow players to perform consistently under pressure.
