I have been involved in baseball since I was a child and the fire that started back then continues to burn in me today. I have been training the Düsseldorf Senators catchers in all age groups since 2016 and continue to develop myself through various catcher programs.

In 2017 I became part of the softball fun team of the Düsseldorf Wild Senators, which I have been responsible for since then.

If I succeed in conveying joy, passion and a sense of community, in kindling the little flame that makes this sport so unique, I know that I have done a good job.

Previous qualification: Successful participation in the Trainer D course of the BSV-NRW

First of all, my baseball-related key data:

Since 2009 member of the Düsseldorf Senators and player in the women’s softball team

And why am I doing this?

Because I’ve been passionate about baseball since I first caught a ball and hit. This enthusiasm is increased by the game, which is so tactical, offers opportunities and is both an individual and a team sport. To share this enthusiasm, to accompany players in their development, to form a team that Playing together is fulfilling and, for me, one of the most beautiful opportunities in my free time to spend.
