Founder & Role Model

Laura Philipp

Laura is a successful and above all passionate triathlete and the inventor of the Kickass feeling. As a person and triathlete, she symbolizes and unites our #Kickass values: the fighting spirit, the willpower and passion, the fun and ambition, the self-confidence and the considerate teamwork of body and mind – because performance can only come from and with a healthy body.

Her inimitable meticulousness is also reflected in her slogan “Wake up, work hard, look hot, kick ass”. And this is exactly how she has worked her way to the top of the world in the middle and long distance. But she remains unwaveringly grounded in human facts, doesn’t take the matter too seriously, but not herself, and always finds valuable potential in the details.

Head of Coaches & Services

Lisa Löhnert

Lisa is our Head of Coaches & Services. She has a deep understanding of everyone and everything – regardless of what she is working on.

As a coach, it is particularly important to her not only to write a training plan, but also to understand the people behind the athletes. Her holistic approach is perfectly rounded off by her background in training science and her master’s degree in sports physiology and sports therapy. She attaches great importance to the health of her athletes and a good quality of movement so that they can enjoy the sport in the long term – true to the motto: Athletics for the win!

Lisa combines theory and practice and has a great feel for human interaction. In addition to her work at Kickass, Lisa is also active as a vaulting trainer. Club work with children and young people as well as voluntary work is a matter close to her heart.

Marketing & Business Development

Kathrin Delfs

Kathi is responsible for Marketing & Business Development. She also transfers her meticulousness and passion for sport to her professional life. She is committed and passionate about the further development of the product range at Kickass Sports.

Her many years of experience in the sporting goods industry are a great help here. Her positive and tireless energy is what is infectious and infectious.

And it is with this same energy and dedication that she has lived the triathlon. So she knows all about the emotional highs and lows in the sine curve of an ambitious athlete’s heart – especially those who want to juggle a career, competitive sport and being a mom. She mainly works remotely and lives on the Baltic coast with her husband, son and dog.

Coach & Bike Fitter

Jan Rozic

Jan is one of the brains behind the Kickass bike fitting. He works at Kickass as a bike fitter and coach. His ability to make others laugh always ensures a good atmosphere in the team and keeps motivation high.

The good coffee that he likes to make for the others in the team and, of course, for athletes who come for a fitting may also help.

In addition to his sports science and biomechanics studies, Jan has spent the last few years working on road cycling and applies this experience to bike fitting and training planning. His meticulousness in creating the plans helps every athlete to progress in the shortest possible time and, above all, ensures that no two plans are the same.

Bike Fitter & Coach

Philipp Hofmann

Phil is responsible for our bike fitting lab and part of our coaching team. He is characterized above all by his precise work with attention to detail and his positive energy, with which he infects athletes.

Phil loves and lives triathlon: he discovered his passion for triathlon as a child and was already active as a coach during his master’s degree in sports science with a focus on sports medicine. The Darmstadt native then moved to Frankfurt and the Allgäu region, where he gained practical experience in all areas from performance diagnostics to coaching and bike fitting in the laboratory, wind tunnel and velodrome.

He has worked with renowned cycling teams and many a triathlon pro to find the perfect position on the bike, which for Phil always represents the middle ground between biomechanical conditions, aerodynamic factors and the individual needs of the athletes. He continues this work at Kickass and is happy to pass on his almost lifelong experience in triathlon.

Coach

Carla Jäger

Carla complements the Kickass coaching team with sports science expertise and a keen sense for the mental side of training.

With her background in sports science and a specialization in sports psychology, she not only helps athletes to become physically better, but also mentally stronger – true to the motto: performance is created in the mind and in the body. Her passion for sport has been with her for a long time and deepened during her studies when she discovered her enthusiasm for endurance sports – an energy that she has brought to her work with great commitment and expertise ever since.

At Kickass, Carla is looking forward to combining her scientific expertise, her empathy and her love of sport to accompany athletes individually and sustainably on their journey.

Coach

Imke Oelerich

Imke is one of our two northern lights in the team. To study sports science, she first went to the German Sport University in Cologne and then on to the USA. Thanks to a sports scholarship for cross country and track running, she was able to study at Nova Southern University in Florida, where she completed an MBA with a focus on sports revenue generation. She then completed her master’s degree back in Cologne.

She has since moved back to her home country – she now lives on the island of Fehmarn with her husband and two daughters. As a successful sportswoman and trainer, Imke supports us in the Kickass Coaches team and fills her heart project Kickass Women in particular with lots of valuable experience.

Thanks to her marketing background, she not only brings structure, but also creative impulses to make processes even more efficient and customer-oriented.

With her passion for organization and clear processes, Veronika creates an environment in which the team can concentrate on its strengths. Because success doesn’t just come from training – it also comes from the right setup behind the scenes!

Coach

Tim-Phillip Koch

Tim runs, makes music and motivates. He has a wide range of interests and can inspire others – which is why he is not only in good hands as a secondary school teacher for music and sport, but also as a running coach at Kickass Sports.

He himself has been highly motivated in running over many distances and now takes great pleasure in giving our runners the kickass feeling. His empathy and organizational skills bring structure and humanity to our holistic training approach.

Swim Coach

Marco Koch

Marco is a swimming coach at Kickass. He has been swimming since 1998 and has been world swimming champion 3 times. With his knowledge and skills, he teaches the art of swimming to all age groups and levels.

But he has also been getting a taste of triathlon since 2021. We are excited to see where this journey takes him.

Backoffice Hero

Backoffice Hero

Sarah Biedert
