Coach Mastermind GroupAbout
I'm based in Zurich/Switzerland and I have the Swiss and German Citizenship but I'm coaching athletes all over the world. I’m a father of 2 beautiful kids that are active in the Sport as well and I have a great partner that shares my passion for the Sport! Before becoming a Professional Triathlon Coach, I have always worked full time as a Senior Finance Executive for large international companies next to raising my kids and doing endurance sports. Therefore, I know how limited time can be and how efficient we should use it! In the meantime, I have invested heavily in my Coaching Education (3 Levels of Swiss Triathlon Certified Coaching as well as Ironman U Certified Coach) and I'm coaching many male and female athletes and I enjoy most to be able to be part of their individual success.
Philosophy
Triathlon has changed my life! I met so many awesome people, but I also learned so much about myself, my body and my soul! I have achieved more than I ever would have dreamed about and I truly believe every person is capable to achieve their dream with the right dedication and support. To do so, personalized training plans are a must! They need to recognize your ambition, your abilities, your time and money you want to effort and your preferences for the Distance. In addition, training plans need to adopt to your Life, not you to the Plans! Thats utterly important if you want to have fun and stay in the Sport. Therefore my Training Philosophy is "TRAIN SMART - NOT HARD"!!! Stay consistent and avoid Injuries as much as possible! For Nutrition purposes, I'm working together with the Team from Fuelin (Founded by Scott Tindall and Jan Frodeno) to get my Athletes the perfect individualized nutrition plans tailored to their needs and linked to the planned workout for an optimized fueling before, during and after the training sessions.
