She was born on July 5, 2002. in Cologne, Germany. She started playing tennis at the age of eight in her hometown. As a young talent, she attended the Tennis Academy „Tennisbase International“ in Leverkusen, where she was led by coach Andreas Mauer. She continued her training in the clubs KKHT Schwarz-weiß and RTHC Bayer Leverkusen, where she was in the first team of junior girls up to 14 and 16 years old when she won first place in the national competition. In the MSC Marienburger Sport-Club, she played in the first junior league under the age of 18 and the second women’s league.
At the age of 17, he moved to Belgrade, where he currently participates in tournaments around Serbia. In order to perfect her tennis skills, Angela enters the Faculty of Sports, majoring in Sports Management and begins her coaching career. He takes his first coaching steps on the fields of our club, where he conveys his international experience and approach to white sports to our youngest members through play and fun.
„I like working with the youngest the most.“ The first steps are the most important in tennis development. If you don’t set them right, it’s very difficult to teach someone to play tennis properly afterwards. If the child is not physically capable at the start, then you teach him to run and catch the ball and everything else. Of course, all that develops through sports, but today children spend a lot of time in front of the computer, they don’t play with the ball, and then we introduce them to the world of tennis in those first steps, through the game, and then we connect it with technique,“ says Angela.
Various motor exercises are done during her training sessions at our tennis school. At the beginning, children learn to throw, catch and roll the ball, through tennis movements they do exercises in an interesting way, so that their attention is always focused on training.
„Each training consists, first of all, of a warm-up, and then comes the tennis part.“ A lot of time is devoted to technique. If they are trained for a match on points, then they play that too. At the end of the class, if the training went well and if they did everything as they should, we play so that they leave the class satisfied and smiling. It is very important to find a balance between play and learning,“ notes Angela.
Her goal is to remain an active player as long as possible, but also to perfect her coaching skills both theoretically at the university and practically on the field. She enjoys working with children and in the future she would like to devote herself entirely to the tennis school, ie. raising new tennis champions.
