As a competitive athlete, I competed in tournaments and competitions all over the world as a teenager. I was trained by the most modern sports scientists of the first generation, whose focus was on targeted training control as well as metabolic and effect research.

After my active career in competitive sport, I used this knowledge to further my academic training in the field of sports medicine and to develop new methods.

In the years that followed, I gained experience through the care and diagnosis of top athletes worldwide in a wide variety of disciplines (alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, soccer, big wave surfers, racing drivers (car and motorcycle), martial arts and weight sports, endurance sports, ice hockey, tennis, and many more).

My mentor, the sports physician and pioneer Prof. Dr. medizinische Univ. Norbert Bachl (President of the European Society for Sports Medicine (EFSM), among others) made my intensive and specialized research possible.
