Enjoyable experience
Dellenbach was pleased about the level of the coaches in Slovenia and revealed that he took a lot in.
- I have enjoyed this week at the Coach Education in Slovenia, was very good to meet new people and was good to learn from the staff coaches, he said.
- They are really experienced, and good coaches learned a lot from them. I heard it will be hard...and that’s what I have experienced as well, Dellenbach added
- It was very intense every day with small tasks during the training and annual planning and Assessment pack.
- However, I think it was good, it showed how a course like this should be taught, he continued.
No regrets
Dellenbach is satisfied with the playing career that he has had despite him having to put the racket down as a player in 2017.
- The best years of my career was when I was training with the National Team in Milan where I was able to improve a the most and also managed to qualify to Glasgow World Championships. Although I was not able to play due to unfortunate reasons, he said.
- Following that, I had to make a hard decision to stop to be a professional athlete, the coach added.
The coach revealed that it is not something he will regret, ever, and is now enjoying his coaching.
- I have played so many tournaments around the world, was a great experience to meet new persons, made a lot of friends, fought a lot of hard matches, he continued.
- Right now, I’m coaching in Swiss and still playing Team Championship, so I haven't completely gone out from the Badminton life, which makes me happy that I've still remained in these circles where I really grew up since I was 8 years old.
