ABOUT ME

As a Strength & Conditioning Coach and Medical Massage Therapist, I have had the privilege of working with world-class alpine skiers at the highest level of international sport — from World Cup and World Championship competitions to the Olympic Winter Games.

​

I am a certified Fitness Trainer, trained at the Olympic Base Obertauern (Austria) under Heinrich Bergmüller, and a certified Medical Massage Therapist, trained at Bergler Training Center in Graz (Austria), with both qualifications completed between 2002 and 2006.

​

My work combines

  • performance development,

  • strength and conditioning, testing,

  • G-force assessment,

  • injury prevention,

  • rehabilitation and recovery.

 

I believe in an individual approach, combining scientific knowledge, practical experience and a deep understanding of the demands placed on an athlete’s body.

​

Throughout my career, I have worked with the Swiss Ski Federation and held a leading role in athletic performance within the Austrian National Ski Team. I have also been part of Red Bull’s Athlete Special Projects, supporting athletes such as Lindsey Vonn and Marcel Hirscher in their performance development and return to competition.

​

One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been my long-term collaboration with Vincent Kriechmayr. For more than 10 years, I have worked closely with him throughout his career, supporting his development and performance at the highest level of alpine skiing — and I continue to work with him today.

​

For me, high performance is about more than training. It is about understanding the person, building trust, paying attention to the details and creating the right conditions to perform when it matters most.

Vincent Kriechmayr

Since 2015—with an unfortunate two-year break—Peter has been the most important mentor in my career. To this day, he remains the person in my sporting world I can rely on unconditionally.

He has taught me what it truly means to put everything else aside for sport, to pursue every detail with absolute commitment, and to leave nothing to chance. But beyond his role as a mentor, Peter has also been a friend and my closest confidant. Few people have had such a profound influence on my career and on the sporting success I have achieved.
