Christian Bittnerfreelance inclusion trainer
Christian Bittner has been Jens Kroker’s personal trainer since 2005. After more than 50 years at Berlin’s Müggelsee, a favorable wind brought the certified physical education teacher - who holds a DOSB B-level coaching license - to Lake Chiemsee 12 years ago. There, he now works as an inclusion club coach at the Prien am Chiemsee Sailing Club and brings all his experience in inclusive sailing to the role, as he has also served as an assistant coach with the German Disabled Sports Association (Deutscher Behindertensportverband e.V.) since 2005. Christian Bittner has never lost touch with his old home: To this day, he remains a member of the Berlin-Grünau Yacht Club.
“Thanks to my many years of coaching in competitive sports for people with disabilities, I know how important grassroots work is, and that’s why I want to help create broader access to sailing, especially in the context of inclusion.”
