| Ulm's big man, seven foot center
Big Mike Niebling made a tremendous commitment to himself this
offseason with hardwork and self discipline. Ulm fitness
coach Renee Porada guided the Danish big man with workout
schemes and nutritional advice and Big Mike went to work.
While many players took the summer off, Big Mike changed his
body dropping 22kg and making himself stronger last
offseason. Niebling immediately saw benefits --- the
center earned a roster spot on the Danish National team this
fall. Ulm will see the benefits throughout the season as
Big Mike has improved mobility, strength and renewed confidence
in his game. Showing flashes of his ability last season,
Niebling scored 14 pts with 5 rebounds in Ulm's win over Ehingen
Feb. 28, 2004. Although Niebling is 7' tall, he possesses
outstanding hand skills. Big Mike is a terrific three
point shooter and an excellent passer from the perimeter making
him a difficult matchup for opponents. Very happy in Ulm,
Niebling spent several weeks in the city this summer working out
and spending time with friends. A generally happy person,
Big Mike enjoys cartoons, comic books, soccer and has signed up
for a German Language course this fall in Ulm. Ulm fans
will see a new player in Michael Niebling this season and Big
Mike will be a factor in Ulm's success on the floor! |
