Who I am

ANJA ZANKL

My professional career in Marketing and Product Management in Consumer Products made me travel around the world. Especially travelling between continents is exciting and life- enhancing but when it comes to sport and training it gets quite tough. Therefore it was always crucial in my various roles in senior management to have a certain structure and setting priorities.

My passion in sport is endurance sports- for more than 10 years I´ve been a triathlete. Based near Roth, Bavaria, I came across the legendary Challenge Roth race and got caught by the atmosphere, determination and effort athletes put into their sport.

One of the key learnings when I started to train for a triathlon was that training and professional priorities can collide pretty easily.

Nevertheless I found a way to make the best of it and keep business, family and sport in balance. I learned that only structured and individually engineered training gives you the right momentum.

I felt the inner wish to learn more about the scientific background of training and give something back to the sport that already gave so much to me. So I became a certified coach by the German Triathlon Union.

Why to train with me

But what to do when time is short and circumstances of job routine taking its toll?
From my personal career I know that it´s difficult to get as competitive as you´d like because of the work you do – a demanding job that requires most of your time. Involving frequent travelling, late meetings or business dinners. You have to arrange training around that schedule. Balancing job routine, family and ambitious targets in endurance sports is absolutely challenging.

“Thanks to Anja´s professional instructions I truly enjoy training with her. With a good sense of humor she keeps my hopes up that I will master the technique of freestyle swimming in a more relaxed and faster way. Consequently and well-targeted she provides me with drills which are custom-tailored- without losing focus of the group. I´m full-working and have family. My time for training is limited and swimming is just one discipline to biking and running. As Anja is a triathlete as well she understands this very well. “
