Stefan J.

As a licensed TFV private coach by the German Olympic Sports Association in Leipzig, I have honed my skills in coaching athletes to achieve their full potential. With four years of experience as an assistant coach for three Olympic decathletes in Germany, I have contributed to their remarkable success, resulting in all three athletes winning medals at both Olympic Games and World Championships.

My experience coaching elite athletes has equipped me with a range of high-performance drills and practice techniques, as well as a deep understanding of handling pressure and overcoming mental barriers. I have also helped athletes prevent injuries, develop optimal nutrition plans, and provide mobility and strength coaching.

Currently, I coach a group of 15 athletes ranging in age from 12 to 22 years old in Germany. Through my guidance, nine of my athletes are now ranked in the top eight in their respective events, and many have achieved significant improvements in their athletic performance and personal growth. I am looking for athletes in America to help them achieve their goals just as I do with my athletes in Germany

For instance, Lukas, a 20-year-old high jumper, increased his personal best by half a foot in just two years of training with me, jumping from 6.5ft to 7.16ft. Melanie, another athlete I coached, improved her heptathlon score from 4500 to 5500 in a little over two years. Both athletes earned full scholarships to NCAA D2 schools due to their impressive results.

I am a collegian Decathlete. My accomplishments on the track speak to my hard work, dedication, and talent. I ran track and field professionally for the German Olympic Sports Association (GOSA) before coming to the US, where I signed a full ride for a NCAA D1 school.

Here are some of my personal bests:

Decathlon: 7280 points
Long jump: 24 ft
Highjump: 6,43 ft
110m hurdles: 13,84s
Disc: 136 ft
Shot: 44,29 ft
100m: 11,04s

I was the 7th fastest hurdle sprinter in Europe in 2015 and I was a member of the german youth national team before becoming a professional athlete for Germany. I have earned several awards in my time as an college athlete such as freshman of the year, multiple conference MVP titles, as well as athlete of the year award.

A session with me promises to be a comprehensive and intense training experience. I am experienced in coaching the following events:

100m, 200m, 400m, 300m/400m hurdles, 100m/110m hurdles
Long jump, High jump, Pole vault
Shot put, Discus, Javelin

The first session will be an introductory session to assess the chemistry between the athlete and coach. In the following sessions, we will do drills that Olympic athletes have used, work on technique through step-by-step guidance, increase endurance and strength with tempo runs and personalised lifting exercises tailored to the athlete's level and age, and focus on speed with tempo runs, innovative drills, and technique improvements.

Speed will be the main focus for most athletes because it is the foundation for most events and is crucial for success in the future. Working on speed will give the athlete a competitive edge over their rivals!
