Former German national badminton player Johanna Käpplein will lead a specialized 15-unit coaching seminar in February 2027 focusing on training culture, high-intensity learning, and proactive tactical play. According to the Bayerischer Badminton-Verband, the educational event is scheduled for February 13 and 14, 2027, at the VICTOR Landesleistungsstützpunkt in Nuremberg.
Event Details and Registration
The seminar, titled “Training with Impact—From the Clever Start to a Strong Training Culture to an Aggressive Game,” is designed to help coaches refine their daily training methods. Participation is capped at 28 attendees to maintain a focused group dynamic that encourages hands-on exercises and practical tactical discussions on the court. Registration remains open through December 10, 2026, according to the official announcement.
The curriculum qualifies for official license renewals for trainer assistants as well as C, B, and A-level coaches working within both grassroots and high-performance sport structures. The program emphasizes that effective coaching stems from intentional planning rather than accumulating a high volume of drills.

Käpplein brings elite-level experience and academic training science to the program. As a former German international player, she secured four national titles in women’s doubles and represented Germany at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, as documented by the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund.
Following her competitive career, Käpplein transitioned into coaching. She currently serves as the singles national coach for women’s singles within the Deutscher Badminton-Verband (DBV), guiding athletes toward international standards. Her academic background in educational science informs her approach to player development, personal growth, and session design.
