Unkaputtbar

Born in Heidenheim an der Brenz, married his first girlfriend, looked into all abysses as a footballer, then returned home as a player and coach and is now the longest-serving coach in German professional football. Frank Schmidt has been a professional football coach longer than anyone else. His contract runs until 2027. His playing philosophy: "Go out, don't let the opponent breathe and never give up. Sounds old-fashioned in times of digital data analysis, medical stress control and fixed tactics. But it is based on the findings of modern resilience research, sports psychology and management methodology, which Frank Schmidt also explains in detail in this book.

Team, club and region live the principle: community beats egoism. What is important is unconditional togetherness - from the kiosk operator Sever in the stands to the many sponsors from the region and thousands of fans. In the Heidenheim cosmos, closeness, authenticity and diligence count. In his "Life Ticker", he takes the readers with him into a football world that every real fan misses by now. Where the smell of bratwurst hangs over the stands, every opponent is run at irrepressibly, successful tackles are cheered frenetically and the floodlit stadium resembles a fortress.

The antithesis of the glittering world of football!
