Denis plays volleyball in the German National Team and
is outside hitter. He is one of the best and unique volleyball talents
worldwide. He started his career in 1999 and supported several German
volleyball clubs. Since 2012 Denis plays in Italy. The highlight of his young
career was the participation at the Olympic Games 2012 in London. The German
Team achieved the 5th rank.
How do you prepare yourself before an important game?
I try to do always the same things before game. For
example I have pasta and chicken as lunch, wash my hands before I go into the
gym and listen to my favourite playlist.
What was the moment memorable moment in your whole
volleyball career?
There are two, one positive one negative. Firstly I
lost in 2012 very close the German championship, by a mistake of me.
Secondly the qualification to the Olympic games 2012
in London. It was such a great feeling.
The whole atmosphere was amazing. Especially the opening event.
What is most important for you during the game?
To stay focused, trust in my teammates and myself.
Do you prefer playing in Germany or international?
I love to play in Germany, but if you want to earn more
money, you have to go to Italy, Poland or Russia.
Is it more fun playing with the German National Team
or with your club in Italy?
That’s hard to tell, I think life is a bit better during
the season with the club. You have more time for yourself. Playing for my own
country is amazing but really intense and exhausting as well.
What kind of training is most effective for you?
Most effective is difficult. I like to have a good
kind of strengths training.
