Sports Scientist & Coach · Le Morne, Mauritius

Coaching that lasts —
because I still live it.

On the water, in motion, in business.

I'm Oliver, a German sports scientist who has called Le Morne home since 2008. I help people kite with confidence, move free of old pain and stiffness, and build wellbeing concepts that guests genuinely feel. Solid science, close personal attention, no quick fixes. The most honest proof I can offer: I still spend most days on the water, still train hard, still live what I teach.

What I offer

Three ways to move forward

On the water, in motion, in business — one approach, grounded in sports science.

AirSwitch Mauritius

Learn to kite with confidence

I've guided many kitesurfers — from complete beginners to advanced riders — in Le Morne's protected lagoon. With small personalised sessions (max. 2–3 people), clear sports-science-based progressions and individual feedback, you learn safely and effectively.

You arrive nervous. You leave riding — with real technique and lasting confidence.

More than 500 five-star reviews on Google and Tripadvisor from kitesurfing clients speak for themselves.

Golfgevity · Healthy life

Feel strong and capable again

I help people move through life with less pain, more energy and better performance — whether you're a golfer, a kitesurfer, or simply someone who wants to stay active and capable for decades.

My approach combines sports science, individual assessment and practical experience. For golfers I developed Golfgevity, a dedicated programme focused on the specific demands of the game. But the same principles — smart movement, targeted strength and sustainable progress — apply to anyone who wants to feel better in their body and perform at their best.

The goal is never a quick fix. It's strength, mobility and confidence that actually last.

Guests who return

I help resorts, clubs and operators create wellbeing and fitness offerings that 5-star guests actually value — and that your team can deliver sustainably.

Eighteen years inside Mauritius' high-end tourism have taught me what discerning international guests really expect — and, just as importantly, what a resort team can realistically run day to day. I combine that with sports science and hands-on coaching to build concepts that are guest-focused and operationally honest.

The result: offerings that improve guest satisfaction, support your team, and make business sense in the long run.

How I work

Three principles guide everything I do.

01

You first

I start with you — your goals, your current level, your body and your reality. Only then do I bring in sports science to create something that truly fits you.

02

Honest and human

Clear, evidence-based advice combined with real care. You'll always get straight answers — even if that means doing less.

03

Transformation that lasts

I build skills, strength, confidence and business solutions that continue to deliver results for years.

About

Still on the water at 56

I'm a German sports scientist who moved to Mauritius in 2008 and never left. It wasn't drift, and it wasn't a holiday that got out of hand. My wife and I emigrated on purpose — she was pregnant with our first child at the time — and we came looking for exactly this: a life where health, movement and meaningful work belong together, with the wave and the trade winds right outside the door.

Over the years I've worked with people from many different countries. Some came to learn kitesurfing, others wanted to get rid of old pain or simply feel stronger in their bodies. And some asked me to help them build wellbeing and fitness concepts for their resorts or clubs. These three areas have always been connected for me: helping people move better, feel better and trust their own bodies again.

I chose Le Morne because the steady wind, the lagoon and the rhythm of life here make it easy to live what I teach. Being active isn't something I do on the side — it's part of who I am. Staying fit and capable at my age isn't a goal I chase; it's simply the result of how I live. That, more than any certificate, is the best proof I can offer that the way I work actually works.

I don't believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all programmes. I believe in listening first, understanding where someone really is, and then building something that fits their life.
