... not like its cliché (!)

I practice this sport since I was nine years old. I stopped to play volleyball, go swimming or make music (playing violine) therefore. I've been growing up with it and I wont ever imagine to live without it.

I get my first experince with air rifle in the club 'Urdorf KK74'. Stefan, a son of my fathers friend did his first steps at the same time, so we started to handle all shoots like a little competition. Unfortunatly he stopped with this hobby a few years later. It tooks another years till our club gets another juniors. In this time I started to practice other disciplines and I began to think about my goals, too.

I got my first gold medal at a juniors-competition called 'goldig Züriträffer'. It was my first match and my first final. So we were surprised. When I was 12 years old, they invite me for a camp with the Zurich Juniors Kader. A few months later I became a member. At this time I've been coached by the swiss junior national coach, Heinz Reichle. He teached me a lot and we started with professional training programms. Because of him I became a member of the regional kader very fastly.

After I moved into another city, so I changed my club, too. I started to shoot for "Stadtschützen Wil". During this time I organized a camp in Qatar with my favourite coach, Nikolay Lechev. It was a great experience! It was a consolation after I enter failed the Grand Prix in Pilsen 2006 (at the GP in Orleans 2005, I managed at least one place in the finals).
 

Meanwhile I was taking a break for some years. I started new a few weeks ago and  choosed to work with pistols. Still I'm curious what will happen next ;-)
