Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany
I work at the intersection of sports science and basketball. Not from a distance — from the sideline, adjusting what’s happening in real-time. I’ve coached across ProB, NBBL, and JBBL, worked with national youth teams, and built athlete monitoring systems that actually get used. (Not just installed, forgotten, and left to collect digital dust.) What drives me? Turning complexity into clarity. Designing systems that support decision-making — for players, coaches, and entire programs. Whether it’s building digital performance tools at Urspring Academy, reshaping how coaches are licensed at the Bavarian Federation, or researching how diagnostics might predict injury risk (my current PhD project), I care about what works. In real games. With real people. Right now, I’m interested in where coaching goes next. How we train better, think clearer, and build sustainable systems that don’t burn people out. If that’s something you’re thinking about, too — let’s talk. What’s the one thing you wish more coaches or programs actually understood?
