Berlin Thunder bring back Kyle Kitchens as defensive analyst
After announcing their new Head Coach Shawn Cooper and Defensive Coordinator Raúl Saavedra, Berlin Thunder have added another member to their coaching staff. Former Thunder player Kyle Kitchens returns to the organization, this time taking on the role of defensive analyst.
With this move, the team brings in a familiar face who knows the club and adds valuable experience to the defensive staff.
From star player to coaching role
Kyle Kitchens previously played for Berlin Thunder and made a strong impact on the field, especially as a defensive lineman. Now, he moves into a new position off the field, where he will support the coaching staff with analysis, preparation, and defensive strategy.
