Hello, my name is Hannes Bachmann and I’m from Austria.

I live near the Lake of Constance in Vorarlberg and I’m 15 years old.

My hobbies are table tennis, soccer, meeting my friends, downhill biking, jogging and athletics. I started athletics with six and ended it when I was nine.

Then I made a break with sport and with eleven I began soccer in a club called FC Lauterach. In the U13 we won the Championship but in the U14 we lost lots of games and then we got a new coach and that was not so brilliant. Our coach didn’t like me and he didn’t let me play a match that’s why I stopped playing football.

I found a new sport and that is table tennis. I exercise three times a week to get better. My biggest goal is to play national league in Vorarlberg. At the moment I´m playing in the 6^th class.

My best friend is an exchange student in America to get better at English. At the table tennis club we got to know each other and understood us well. His name is Christoph and we are playing table tennis and a lot of soccer in the summer. I’m excited when he comes back next summer.
