Lessons in Teamwork, Resilience, and Growth – Pt 1/2
Like many kids growing up in Berlin, I was captivated by the game and wanted to make it my career. As a young teenager, I was scouted and moved to Borussia Dortmund to chase that dream.
Playing for Borussia Dortmund was a defining chapter of my life, even though I never turned pro. Looking back, it was also one of the most important learning experiences of my life.
Lessons in Teamwork, Resilience, and Growth – Pt 2/2
Football taught me valuable lessons that still guide me today:
Taking Criticism as Feedback: On the field, criticism wasn’t personal, it was a tool to improve. I learned how to embrace it and grow from it.
Understanding Teamwork: Real teamwork isn’t just about showing up; it’s about trust, shared goals, and supporting each other, even under pressure.
Finding Individual Solutions: Even in a team sport, some challenges can only be solved by you. I learned to rely on my instincts and creativity when needed.
Current Projects
I am used to learning new topics and expanding my knowledge. I have invested a lot of time in deepening my skills with tools like ChatGPT and ElevenLabs. One of my “weekend projects” led to the development of an AI-powered platform. A branded version of this white-label solution is already live
I am currently working as a freelance consultant for small businesses, studying for my Risk Management Professional (RMP) certification, and actively expanding my skills in Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.
