"I obtained my first coaching certificates while still at school - I attended a specialist football school. Instead of going on school trips, I went to get my licence. My course leader at the time was Fritzi Kromp, who is now a coach in Bremen. At the end of the course, she said to me: 'You're really good at this, it would suit you.' That was my first lightbulb moment."
"It quickly became clear to me that I love team sports, the daily interaction, solving problems together. I had to stay in football. And of course, I love being on the pitch. Through Jay [Bianca Rech], I came into contact with Bayern, and shortly afterwards I became assistant coach of the second team under Nathalie Bischof. I said to myself: I'll give it a try, and if it's not right for me, I'll look for something else."
Clara Schöne arrives early at the FC Bayern Campus to prepare training sessions and has begun her Pro Licence this month. She applies determination, curiosity and an eye for detail developed since school and early coaching certificates. Her coaching routine balances structured everyday planning with a course that emphasizes variety and trust. She has developed alongside head coach José Barcala, working on video analysis, defensive blocks, dressing-room issues and travel logistics. Schöne frames modern training as open in discourse and united as a team. Her pathway included specialist football school coaching courses, injury-forced playing retirement, sports-science studies and assistant roles at Bayern.
