The Crazy German Coach Who Taught Dirk Nowitzki How to Shoot

Спорт

Holger Geschwinder is the basketball coaching savant who taught Dirk Nowitzki his lethal shot and has continued to work with him throughout his career. He's also a purveyor of some of the most bizarre theories of basketball education in the world today. All of these dynamics come together at his Youth Basketball Camp in Germany, attracting players from all over the world to what he calls his "Institute of Applied Nonsense." We spent a few days trying to hone our own skills at the camp.

    on the pole you have a day of 6 month, its not the time but the suns angle the determents the temperature. near the aquator the sun has the shortest way through the atmosphere so its usually hotter. on the other hand the length of the day don't differ very much in winter and summer, while it gets more extreme going north or south from aquator.

    I was playing with Holger for one year and I was about 20 years younger. Now I would teach all the young guys that Basketball or any other sport is not the only sense in life. You have to increase your abilities in all spheres , so I am doing music, dancing, I am reading and practicing meditation, learning about plants, animals, and nature. When I was a coach for some years I made yoga with the kids and after many years they were very thankful for that. We also met together after practice and were talking about everything including the universe. So I can advice everybody not to be complete singleminded , focused only on basketball.

    A very cool video, I don't like the title though. Just because something or someone isn't understood at first sight it's easy to say they're crazy, but that's an insult in my opinion. And not once in this video was he called crazy (verrückt in German) was he? Instead the methods were unorthodox, unconventional, unique, ... which have a very different sound to me. That's all the criticism I have though, thanks for giving him some spotlight and making this!
