Mensch Trainer

12 exciting encounters with strong coaching personalities. Coaches are the key players in professional football. They face daily pressure to succeed and intense media scrutiny. Coaches bear the responsibility for the whole team, make the final and most important decisions, and often stand alone when it comes to failures and mistakes. How do they cope with pressure and defeats? How do they manage to inspire their players to go through fire for them? How do they communicate their ideas clearly and convince others of their goals? Experienced sports journalist Isabella Müller-Reinhardt has met 12 successful coaches – from legends like Ottmar Hitzfeld to current Bundesliga coaches like Marco Rose and Oliver Glasner. Her sensitive portraits reveal the person behind the professional facade, focusing not on tactics and game systems, but on social and communicative skills. A fascinating account of coaches as the psychologists of success.
