Frank Terletzki (born 5 August 1950) is a German football coach and former player of BFC Dynamo.

Early life

Frank Terletzki grew up in East Berlin. He came to football relatively lately, after his father Karlheinz had brought him to local side SG Prenzlauer Berg at the age of ten. Terletzki was then allowed to join the youth department of football club BFC Dynamo in 1966. His father had wanted to see him at 1. FC Union Berlin, but Terletzki went to BFC Dynamo, as that meant a shorter distance to training. His first coach at BFC Dynamo was Herbert Schoen. Schoen was described as a "tough dog" by Terletzki. Terletzki claims he learned important virtues such as discipline and toughness towards oneself from Schoen. Terletzki said: "It didn't matter to us whether it was pouring rain or snowing, we always trained."[1]
