I have received the question of how one can start out coaching and how to get clients on your own.
In this episode I break down the few steps I believe are cruical for a successful coaching / private practitioner practise.

If you think about it, its only 4 steps - totally doable :))

Two surgeries. Eight months of atrophy.

A doctor who said six months for him to get back to running. Spoiler: its not 6 months.

In this episode, I walk through one of the most complex client cases I've worked - a shattered patella, two surgical traumas, and what it actually takes to get someone back to running, cycling, and playing football.

Send this to someone who recently got massively injured - doubting the rehab is completely normal. Listening to these case studies helps a lot.

Sprained ankles might be the most common injury & the most commonly ignored one.

Especially if your main sport requires you to rapidly change directio or accel or decel, you want to have a full functioning ankle. If you never rehabbed your ankle sprain you most likely will not be able to push through the foot or stiffen (or soften) at the right time. 

Yet, ankle rehab is often done really poorly. 

Usually its: Rest - 10 Body Weight Calf Raises - Return to Main Sport

Listen to this if you want to know how to do it better, so you can be back to changing directions or running down a technical downhill.

For this episode, I am joined by my friend & business partner Jonny. We were on our way down to the mountains to work on our return to run program and thought to make better use of our time by recording this masterpiece. 

We talk about our framework to rehab tendons & how the approach changes depending on if we work with Achilles, Patella, Quad or Proximal Hamstring Tendons. Then we kind of landed at spirituality and me not being able to follow stupid rules before we came back to the tendons. 

Have fun listening or watching or whatever you do with this episode :D

I am back and in today's episode, I will dive into two very interesting questions which have been asked:
1) When did you know you were ready to coach complex cases?

2) How did you get your first clients? How did you build up your business from there?

This year marks 10 years of me being self-employed. 

I would’ve never thought that the side hustle, which I started out of joy for training & movement, will turn into me helping athletes get from pain to performance and ultimately educating other physios & coaches on doing the same. 

I believe self-employment is the best teacher you can have.

Have a listen, however I think you will only truly understand & learn these things once you went through this yourself. 

SO KEEN ON THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!!!

For the second part of the stress fracture podcast, I invited Emma.
Emma had multiple stress reactions and is now learning not only how to deal with them and how to rehab them but also how much her lifestyle the last 20 years played a role in this. 

We talk about the beliefs around training & food she has carried with her for long and which she now starts to question & reframe. 

We talk about the early signs of stress reactions, how her body feeling & trust in herself changed due to the injuries and how injured athletes can advocate better for themselves in the doctors office. 

Stress reactions and fractures are not bad luck - they’re signals of your body. This episode helps you understand the process, spot red flags early, and approach recovery with clarity instead of fear. 

Thank you Emma for your trust!

We have a stress fracture epidemic going on!
How can it be, that not only professional athletes but also ambitious people get so many stress fractures?
I talk about: 

• Why we see so many bone stress injuries (BSI) currently 
• How you can significantly decrease the risk of a BSI 
• How to immediate act if you suspect a BSI 
• How a proper return to run/ play protocol should look like do decrease the risk of re-injury

This is not only physiological. Bone stress injuries have a huge psychological factor - many people suffering this type of injury have a problematic relationship with training, nutrition & load management. 

If you are currently injured and your doctor said your return to run is „start with 5x1min on/off running and work your way up“ (spoiler: DO NOT DO THAT) then this is for you. 

If you are a coach, I encourage you to listen to this, send this to your athletes and raise awareness about this topic!

Can you lift heavy weights, push your heart rate, or even hit PBs while pregnant?

Common misconceptions often say "no," but the reality of exercise physiology tells a different story.

In this episode, I’m joined by Miri, who is challenging the status quo of how we view activity during pregnancy.

We dive into the fears many active people face - like the worry of "losing yourself" or having to stop training entirely - and look at the science and visibility Miri is creating through her own journey and participation in clinical studies.

We also tackle an often overlooked topic: Being a pregnant entrepreneur.

• What does it mean to run a business and manage employees without the state-funded safety nets available to employees in Germany?

• How do you mentally and financially prepare for labor when there is no "maternity pay"?

• How do you plan for a life event that is inherently unplannable?

The most incredible part? Just three hours after we finished this recording, Miri went into labor and welcomed her wonderful daughter, Mila, into the world. This episode is a snapshot of strength, dedication, and the final moments of a transformative journey.

This episode is dedicated to Mila. May she grow up to be as fearless, strong, and bold as her mother. <3
