Lecturer and Researcher in Sports Science, Bielefeld University

I'm currently a PhD candidate, lecturer and researcher at Bielefeld University, Germany. Referring to my academic background, I graduated from the M.Sc. in Sport Management at the German Sport University Cologne (with a semester abroad at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). To build up my doctoral thesis, my research interests essentially revolve around football coaching, sport leadership and team performance. As a UEFA licensed coach, I'm also the football instructor within our sports science department. Before moving here, I previously worked with athlete management at Red Bull, media rights at ESPN, as well as a strategic consultant supporting professional football players.
