Coaching - Club Level
I started coaching in a local club back in 2004, mainly kids from a village ( with approximately 3500 residents) , no special talent in the beginning. Made my way from there to TSG Kaiserslautern, when we started to expand our talent development program of the Axel Roos soccer school, which emerged in the founding of the clubs SFC Kaiserslautern and K-Town Rush. Since April 2016 I am working individually as a private coach, in a soccer school called Unicorn Soccer Academy and from July 2016 on as a U13 coach for the club of FK 03 Pirmasens.
