How I “build” my Beach Tennis career? With my body … I’m very bad in ball control and touch! I trained hard to achive my goals … even without racket talent, and now I perfectly know how to build an athlete to play BT on the highest level, because I did it by myself.
Besides that, I studied Sport Science at the University, and received a Master Degree in Sport Science with a scientific thesis in “sport strength and conditioning”. And guess what … now I’m working with the best BT players in the world!
