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.

Drago Fucksomanydumbitchesbutbigboobsthoughso in summer the temperature in average is almost the same in Germany and south Europe and there are more factors important for the temperature than just sunshine time, for example the sea which reflects heat, streams in the sea and so on

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.

This coach is a mad genius! Who cares if his methods are unusual! As long it works! Plus he coached a champion! If you're smart enough... his methods work in unsual ways! #HolgerGeschwinder
Connecting dribbling with beats is creative.

TheAyeJays underrated comment
Half you guys forgot that they worked their asses off at the beginning of the camp. You can see that they all undershot instead of overshooting. Stop acting like you're all fuckin Steph lol
When the opera singer turned up, I finally knew Holger was crazy. Nevertheless his brilliance and class outshine the craziness by far
glad they did not wake them up with "We are the Champions" sung by Dirk :) ...great practice...everyone is a better basketball player, rower, soccer player and dancer now ..and god knows what else they did :)
I love unorthodox approaches to ANYTHING. This guy is brilliant.
He must be doing something right he made Dirk. Dirk was one of the best. I remember him being in the stands during dirks championship run and crying when dirk won 😢
I wish I could have gone to a camp like this when I played soccer.
thanks, vice sports! keep giving us new prospectives of sports
This the type of shit I'm subscribed to vice for. Great video!
This coach is amazing... His first task in his basketball camp... Is to spell his surname

If you can have fun doing what you love, then you will go farther with it. And they are definitely having fun. It's so much easier to remember and apply techniques that you enjoy. Good luck guys.
Simply Genius!!! I thought, I was but this guy made me feel I need to go back to basics of basketball. Superb system!!!!
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.
That very last shot of the kids jumping off the deck was GORGEOUS!!! Kudos to whoever made that creative decision! (and with the operatic voice?!!! NICE.)
BESTER MANN! Thank you VICE SPORTS.
production value is always incredible
Awesome Video, thx for the work!
Great Documentary !
The music + basketball part was awesome
i wish I can be there!! Awesome and Super Hardworking Coach!
Großartiges Video Vice Sports!!
when they dribbled together i thought of High School Musical lol
host looks like Key from Key & Peele
i love the diversity that basketball has, and how it brings everyone together regardless of background
thats a good ass way to wake someone up
This is a gem!
Dope shit!
love this. awesome coach. great perspective. really unique!
i like how he gives this one guy a push in the end :D

That moment when u expect an English video but hear ur mother tongue all of a sudden
Rythm, coordination and propriception are 3 of the most important things in basketball. He tries to develop that in the kids at a young age because their brains arent fully developped yet. His technique is unorthodox but it is great.
The Dirk Nowitzki documentary on netflix has some other footage of Holger's teaching methods.
this guy is a genius. unorthodox but very effective. german technology?
Tnx coach for teaching dirk How to be a Hall of Famer ❤
That song is lit
Dirk shot in 2k is crazy good
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!

ITS LIKE THE BASKETBALL DANCE SCENE IN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL GREAT
I remember my whole crew liked playing football instead of basketball because we were more competitive in a sport that wasn't our primary... Basketball we just enjoyed, football was for kicking each others asses :)
The title was the best part
just one quick view on holger's techniques show that he's very aware of the fact that his 'kids' are already ambitious.still, adapting to his methods is beyond the adolescence thingy and only the most focused will maje it. great conception of the camp though!
