Life

He began his sporting career at the age of eight in his hometown with LG Forchheim . He later moved to LAC Quelle Fürth and trained there under the high jump coach Stanislaus Olczyk. In the age group of youngsters under 18 years of age (U18), he started at national championships in high jump and hurdle sprint. In 1995, Schindzielorz took second place in the high jump at the German Youth Championships in Rhede (U18) with a personal best of 2.06 m . From 1996 he concentrated exclusively on the hurdles sprint and moved to Munich in 2002, where he trained at the Munich Olympic base until the end of his career. Schindzielorz's career was marked by injuries. In 2004 a torn hamstring prevented qualification for the Olympic Games in Athens . He achieved his greatest successes in his youth and junior years. Between 1994 and 2006 he was several times Bavarian and South German champions in high jump and hurdles sprint. In 2004 he won his first German championship title among adults. Schindzielorz played ten times for the German national athletics team. In the world annual best list of 2002 he was in 21st place (indoor) and 27th place (open air). In the summer of 2006 he completed his last competition for the time being.

After graduating from high school, Schindzielorz studied sports science at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and at the Technical University of Munich, and in 2010 received his bachelor's degree in sports management from the University of Applied Management in Erding.
