Hey, I´m Philipp!

I was a professional cyclist for 13 years in the disciplines cyclocross and road cycling. My first years were fully dedicated to cyclocross. I was member of a Belgian professional CX team and was able to become U23 World Champion and 2nd in the overall Elite World Cup ranking, as well as German Champion several times.

When I felt that I reached my full potential in CX, my next goal was to develop myself as a road cyclist. After one very informative year as an amateur, I got the chance to sign with Alpecin-Fenix, a professional continental team and to chase my goals as a road cyclist. After three years, some own victories, a lot of victories in a supporting role and participations in big races like Strade Bianche or Liege-Bastogne-Liege I decided to end my career and focus on different things in life.

In my carreer I went through a long learning process with different training strategies, self coached and coach supported.
With the growing influence of science in professional cycling I was able to get a lot of theoretical input in my last years as a professional, which helped me to understand what was right or wrong with a lot of those decisions I made in my early career, but also to put theoretical actions and advice into perspective and to project it onto the individual situation of the cyclist.

I also dealt a lot with the mental side of sports performance, which also helps me today, to understand and assist athletes.
