Maximilian Breboeck lifestyle portrait

Born in Munich. Built through tennis.
Now writing from Mallorca.

Diplom-Kaufmann and Sportokonom by training. Competitive tennis player by nature. I spent years bridging the gap between athletic performance and business — founding Monaco Sports (a scholarship agency connecting athletes to 2,000+ universities) and co-founding KAM on!

Today I write, translate, and mentor from Mallorca. My work lives at the intersection of Stoic philosophy, physical performance, and the quiet discipline it takes to build things that last. Family man. Early riser. Still competing.

Author Translator Stoic Mentor Tennis Mallorca

Ideas worth sharing.

Stoic philosophy, practical wisdom, love, sport, health, and the quiet art of analogue living — written by a father, dreamer, and lifelong student of life. In English and German.

Stoic philosophy for athletes and founders.

One-on-one mentorship rooted in the Stoic tradition. For athletes who want composure under pressure, and founders who want clarity in chaos.

Whether you're preparing for a tournament or building a company — the principles are the same: focus on what you control, let go of what you can't, and show up every single day.

Voices from the work.

From athletes to entrepreneurs — people who've worked alongside Max, been coached, or collaborated on something worth building.

I got to know Max as a likeable and extroverted person with an incredibly deep knowledge of sport, who is always open to new topics. I am very much looking forward to continuing our regular exchange as valued friends across the most diverse subjects.

Bernd Motorsport Executive

I've known Max for many years now and greatly appreciate his trustworthy and honest nature. I honestly can't imagine a better friend and business partner. Max is very curious, versatile, intelligent, and full of humour. It is always an honour to receive and act on his tips across the most varied topics.

Norman Former Athlete & Entrepreneur

If you are looking for a likeable and eloquent person for a wide range of consulting topics, Max is exactly the right choice.

Thomas Sports Executive

Working with Max is uncomplicated and enriching — through his network you meet interesting people with many possibilities. I also greatly value his strong entrepreneurial spirit and his ability to open up entirely new perspectives for you.

Marcus Entrepreneur

Max listens and asks the right questions. He moves you forward with his advice without ever coming across as therapeutic or ideologically authoritarian. He coaches without you feeling coached. Every conversation is a gain. I can only recommend him wholeheartedly.

Kristin Former Athlete & Executive

I have known and appreciated Max for many years — first as a colleague at a leading sports marketing agency, then as a co-founder of our joint crowdfunding platform KAM‑on.de. We are connected not only by a passion for racket sports but also by an interest in the finer nuances of life. Philosophising with Max is a genuine delight. His creativity, curiosity, and breadth of perspective are impressive and inspiring in equal measure.

Felix Journalist & Bestselling Author

I've known Max since my very first day in professional life, and we've been on the same wavelength ever since — humour included. He has an admirable way of setting priorities: extremely reliable, calm, yet always determined. He has the courage to make decisions, and his diverse experience means he always carries inspiring food for thought.

Alex Founder, Sports Marketing Agency

I've known Max since my very first day in professional life and we've been on the same (humour) wavelength ever since. He has a remarkable ability to set priorities in a deeply reliable, calm, yet goal-driven way. He has the courage to make decisions and, through his wide-ranging experiences, always arrives with new perspectives that make you think.

Kristina Entrepreneur

I've come to know Max as a sincere, loyal, and creative person. He has extensive experience working with competitive and professional athletes and always strives to think holistically rather than focusing on just one narrow area.

Carlo Former World Record Holder & Coach

Max is a very reliable, humorous and warm-hearted person. Our collaboration was always highly professional and genuinely great fun.

Tom Multiple Olympic Medalist

Max causes me (and others) real problems — his serve, his forehand. Why do I keep coming back? Because every minute on and off the court is defined by the utmost honesty, the highest respect, selfless groundedness, fascinating sports knowledge, philosophical depth, the driest humour, and sheer effortless lightness.

Simon Entrepreneur

I have always known Max as a reliable and capable partner — someone whose collaboration is a pleasure at all times. He is open to new things and never shies away from a challenge. I believe he has already helped many athletes find their path and build a successful career after their sporting career.
