Functional & Performance Coaching

Back to real performance. Not into the next standard plan.

Individual coaching for anyone who wants progress instead of busywork. Built around your body, your daily life and your goal.

What this is about

Most plans are copied. The same programme for a 25-year-old as for someone coming back after ten years. No wonder it does not hold.

With me you do not get an off-the-shelf plan. It always starts with an assessment: a full movement analysis so I can see how your body actually works and where it compensates. Only then does your training take shape. Three to six sessions a week through an app, with video feedback on your technique and a direct line when something is off.

The goal is not to make you tired. The goal is to make you better. Stronger, more resilient, and without some niggle constantly slowing you down.

If your plan looks like everyone else’s, it is not yours.

The process

Five steps to your training.

01

Assessment

Every coaching starts with a full movement analysis, from your feet to your shoulders. Plus history, daily life, goal and time available. When we work in person, force plates come on top and make visible where left and right diverge. Without this step, everything after it is guesswork.

02

Onboarding, together

We set up the app together and I explain how I work: what RPE means, how you steer your load, how you film your videos. That applies online exactly as it does in person. You are never left alone and never have to piece things together yourself.

03

Your plan takes shape

I build your programme individually. No copy and paste, but matched to your body and your goal, week by week through the app.

04

Execute with feedback

You train, I look at it. Loom video feedback on your technique and WhatsApp support when it matters. That keeps your execution clean.

05

Adjust and progress

Your plan grows with you. We push when you are ready and adapt when life gets in the way. Progress instead of standstill.

Price change as of 1 January 2027

From January I become liable for VAT. Functional & Performance Coaching therefore goes from 450 to 490 € per month. Anyone who starts before then keeps their price.

Save 400 € with the annual plan One payment of 5,000 € instead of 12x 450 €
450 € / month
Minimum term 6 months, then cancellable monthly

Or a single payment of 5,000 € for a full year. Whether we fit is something we work out calmly beforehand. No risk, no sales pressure.

How I work

Everyone writes individual. Here is what it means.

The word is free. What counts is how often your training gets decided again, and on what. The difference is depth, not wording. That is exactly why the coaching costs more than a standard plan.

Rhythm

Decided again every week

I read the comments on every session and adjust the following week based on them, for example when something hurts, after a competition or before a field test.

Much closer than a check-in every two weeks.
Structure

A phase plan of your own

No template. You have an individual phase plan of your own: when a phase starts, where the deloads sit, which exit criteria have to be met before you move on.

You know when something changes, and why.
Data

Measured, not guessed

If it can be measured, it does not get guessed. Field tests when endurance matters for your goal. Force plate diagnostics when we work on site.

Decisions on numbers, not on a feeling.
Detail

Every exercise explained

In the app every exercise has written coaching cues: the tempo explained, the warm-up set, notes and what the session is aiming for. You know what matters in every set.

Not a list of exercise names and reps.

Cheaper is always available. The question is how often someone actually looks.

The support

You do not just get a plan.

A plan alone changes nothing. What counts is what happens between sessions.

Feedback

I actually watch you

You send me your video, I send you back a Loom recording. You see yourself and hear at the same time what is happening and why I am changing something. No text that leaves room for interpretation.

Technique corrected before it sets in wrong.
Availability

You are never stuck on a question

If something is unclear or starts to hurt in between, you message me. No ticket number, no queue, just an answer from me.

Within 24 hours on weekdays.
Within 48 hours at weekends.
Onboarding

No being thrown in at the deep end

Before the first session runs, we set everything up together and I explain my system: RPE, load management, filming. Online works exactly the same as in person.

From day one you know how we work.
If you need it

Training is not everything.

Not everyone needs every one of these. Whoever needs one gets it at no extra cost.

Diagnostics

Field test

If endurance matters for your goal, we determine your threshold values for heart rate and pace or power. That gives you your real training zones instead of running on feel.

Thirty minutes, running or on the bike. Repeatable, so progress becomes measurable.
Nutrition

Habits instead of a plan

I do not give you a nutrition plan you throw away after three weeks. We build one habit after another, and the next one only comes once the first has stuck. Slower to build, but it lasts.

No all-or-nothing. One slip is not a lost week.
Basics

Hydration and supplements

Supplements are not a miracle cure. Once sleep, hydration and food are in place, they close gaps. If you want, you get a clear protocol instead of shelf advice.

Consistency beats complexity.
In person and online

You train in person in Ingolstadt or online from anywhere in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Either way your phase plan runs in TrainHeroic and you give feedback through comments and video. Force plate diagnostics and training at the gym are in person only.

Frequently asked

Before you ask.

Which app does this run on?

You get your plan structured through an app where you see every session, tick it off and log your weights and times. It is TrainHeroic. The tool is not what matters, what is in it is.

How much time do I need each week?

That depends on your goal and your daily life. Three to six sessions a week is the frame, and we set the volume together so it fits into your life rather than beside it.

Am I too unfit to start?

No. I build the training on where you actually are, not on an ideal. Whether you have been out for years or already train, we start where you really stand.

Will I be left alone at the start?

No. Before the first session we go through the setup together: setting up the app, explaining RPE and load management, showing you how to film. I do this for online clients exactly as in person. You only start once you know how everything works.

How fast do I get an answer?

Within 24 hours on weekdays, within 48 hours at weekends. So you are never stuck on a question for days.

What if I have pain or an old injury?

Then we look at that first. If pain is the real issue, my Rehab Coaching 90-Day Back Reset 90-Day Back Reset is often the better starting point. In the intro call we find out what fits you.

Why does this cost more than other online coaching?

Because there is more in it. A lot of providers run pre-built programs that get adjusted on a fixed cycle. Here your week is decided again every week, based on your feedback, inside a phase plan that is yours alone. Cheaper usually means looser. Whether it is worth it for you is something we work out honestly on the intro call.

Is this the same as hybrid coaching?

At its core, yes. What many people call hybrid coaching is what I call Functional & Performance Coaching: strength and endurance in one plan instead of two programmes running side by side and getting in each other's way. If you are looking for a hybrid coach in Ingolstadt or online, you are in the right place. We start with a full assessment, in person with force plates or online, and build your training around your goal from there.
