About me
Performance Diagnostics. Training Management. Load Capacity Assurance.
Since 1996, I have been dedicated to the question of how performance capacity can be measurably maintained and developed under high and sustained load. My entry into this field was not theoretical, but practical: as a young competitive athlete in alpine skiing, several injuries led me early on to the central question of why performance sometimes collapses – even when training, motivation, and willpower are all present. For 30 years, this has been the core of my work: making load, recovery, and adaptation measurable, detecting warning signs early, and managing training so that risks are systematically reduced – and performance emerges sustainably.

Background
Since 1996, I have been working continuously in practice at the intersection of performance diagnostics, load capacity development, and training management. This work has encompassed youth and development programs as well as international elite sport – up to European Championships, World Championships, and the Olympic Games.
Performance
Diagnostics as a process
A one-time performance test provides snapshots. Sustainable performance capacity only emerges through repeated analysis, derivation of measures, and subsequent verification. This process has been standard in elite sport for decades. In health- and performance-oriented contexts, however, it is frequently replaced by assumptions or generic recommendations.
Professional
Approach
My work does not follow trends, but biological principles. Performance always arises from the interplay of external load – internal strain, recovery, and the system’s adaptability. Diagnostics is not an end in itself, but the starting point of a process. The goal is to base training and load decisions on objective data and to verify them regularly.
Experience
& References
Within the scope of diagnostic, performance-physiological, and structural support, athletes and teams have been accompanied who won medals at the Olympic Games, World Championships, and European Championships. Medals are deliberately not counted or attributed to individuals, as performance achievements are always the result of interdisciplinary systems.
Measurable, effective, sustainable.
