On the tennis court, every day can be a new beginning. Coaching is a compass that guides you on, in, and off the court.
I am a certified tennis instructor from the Swiss Professional Tennis Association (SPTA) and have gained diverse World Championship and World Cup experience in various sports as a coach and fitness trainer.

Tennis as a Personal Journey
Everyone has their own story. Mine has been anything but ordinary. I've stumbled and fallen more than once, especially in the beginning. But what always made me get back up was the desire to perfect my skills, whether as a coach or as a person. Even now, I strive for continuous education and learn something new with every challenge. Today, my goal is to help people like you build the foundation for lasting success.
Past Collaborations in Professional Sports:
I have had the opportunity to learn from successful athletes in the following areas:
- Mental Training: Denise Biellmann gave me insight into her work in mental preparation. This helped me optimize my techniques, such as converting pressure into positive energy and getting into the right mindset before competitions.
- Flexibility and Stretching: Karuna Lee
- Strength, Conditioning, and Peak Performance Management: Heinz Schenker
Tennis References
I stay up-to-date through regular discussions about new tactics, technical developments, and match preparation. In addition to personal match practice against professional players like Rosset, Ostoja, Stadler, Kuharsky, Ingaramo, Kalovelonis, and Thung, I am fortunate to count national players and former ATP Top 100 players among my exchange partners.
Health through Tennis
Stress, balance, and posture can not only prevent injuries but also lead to improved health in terms of coordination and movement. In my training, you can learn more about this topic, and I can give you many valuable tips.
