Ever since ending my pro-soccer career in 2013, I've dedicated my life to sharing the lessons I've learnt and to empowering others.In the first few years after the end of my career, I took a lot of time to travel and try out various professional fields. It was important for me to get out of the rat-race and open up to new perspectives and experiences. I then got the football coach A-License in 2014 and trained the German U18 national team for a year alongside Guido Streichsbier. I then landed a few gigs as a TV expert for Fox Sports in the USA as well as CCTV and Hansports covering the World Cups in 2014 and 2018 in China. It was during this time, that I discovered my love and passion for television as well as the opportunities for learning and sharing that came along with it. Furthermore I started my own podcast "From done to Dare" covering topics such as transition in life and how to deal with unexpected events.I've taken on the incredible adventure as the Sporting Director of Hertha Berlin. It's a club near and dear to my heart where I played for over 8 years. I redefined the role itself, to fit my values and purpose, which I allow to guide my every move. Positivity, humility and above all, the opportunity to serve people and empower them, in this case, the Club gives me a lot of joy. I strongly believe that: Happy people are productive and healthy, thus their best selves. However, I believe there is more to life than to just focus on one thing. The four areas in my life which I am always striving to give attention to are: the development of my foundation, mentoring, my work as a TV football expert in different parts of the world and of course, my work as Sporting Director.
