Player career

Rödl's father, Helmut, was a basketball coach. In 1987, the then 18-year-old EOSC Offenbach player made his debut as the first regional league player in the German national team . In 1989 he won bronze with the German student national team at the Universiade in Duisburg , before he went to the USA in the same year, where he played for the "Tar Heels", the basketball team of the University of North Carolina . In 1993 Rödl celebrated two of his greatest successes: he won the US college championship with the "tar heels" and surprisingly became European champion with the national team in front of his own audience .

The following season Rödl made his Bundesliga debut for Alba Berlin, where he soon made a name for himself as a committed defender and team captain . He stayed with the club for eleven years and scored 5228 points in 534 games during that time. In 1996 he was Germany's basketball player of the year . In the Rödl era, the capital city club won the German championship seven times in a row (1997-2003), four times the national cup competition and once the Korać Cup .

In 2002 he said goodbye to the national team by winning the bronze medal at the World Cup . Overall, Rödl, who also took part in the 1992 Olympic Games, scored 1,749 points in 178 international games in 15 years.

In the Bundesliga, Rödl scored a total of 3686 points. During his career, he was distinguished by his reliability, good defense and the ability to occupy several playing positions. Rödl's achievements and his value to the team often went unnoticed because he played without frills.

Coaching career

After Alba Berlin's elimination in the play-off semi- finals against Bamberg , Rödl declared his resignation as an active player on May 25, 2004 and played his last game on May 27, 2004.

After being eliminated in the quarter-finals in 2007 against the Artland Dragons , Rödl was replaced in his position as head coach by Luka Pavicevic . He then became the sporting director of the entire youth program at Alba Berlin and coach of the NBBL team and the Alba Berlin regional league team.

From October 2008 to the start of the 2009/10 season, Rödl was also the coach of the German U20 national team.

With the Berlin NBBL team, Rödl was runner-up in the 2007/2008 season and champion in 2008/2009 .

The Regionalliga team was with Rödl as coach in the 2009/10 season with 19-1 wins champion of the Regionalliga Nord (RLN) and made it to the ProB league.

After Treveri Basketball AG went bankrupt, all employees were laid off on May 1, 2015, including Henrik Rödl. In June 2015 Rödl announced that he would not be a coach for the newly founded Trier ball sports movement UG for the 2015/2016 season.

In summer 2015, he led the German national student team (identical to the A2 national team) to the silver medal at the Universiade in South Korea .
