Fast, fascinating, fair – the most successful German ball sport explained in all its facets.
Medals and titles on a subscription basis for decades – hockey is the most successful ball sport in Germany and one of the most fascinating. There are rapid dribbles, thrilling duels, tactical masterpieces, and impressive set pieces.
Although hockey is the least paid ball sport in Germany, it is still the most professional. How is that possible? Why do Germany's hockey players repeatedly manage to win against professional nations? And why is it a sport where family moments and exhilarating performances go hand in hand?
Philipp Crone, sports journalist, hockey expert for ZDF, former record national player, and multiple world champion, explains all this and much more in this book.
The Topic
Hockey is the most successful ball sport in Germany – fast, spectacular, fair, and gripping. Anyone who has witnessed a ball being shot at the goal at 120 kilometers per hour and saved by the goalkeeper, or dribbled with the stick in the air to outplay an opponent, will be fascinated from that moment on.
Tactical changes every minute, highly specialized set pieces – this is experienced in a sport that is so advanced that even the smartest minds from professional football are regularly poached away.
Why is Germany so successful in hockey, who are the defining figures, and why is this sport a role model in many ways? These questions are answered by former record national player Philipp Crone with an insider's perspective that couldn't be more precise, combined with the professional, objective view of a journalist from the outside on his own sport, the most beautiful in the world.
Some Reasons
Because Germany celebrated the craziest comeback in sports history in Rio.
