Olympic champion, world and European champion, countless international tournament successes: hockey is Germany's most successful ball sport, yet it leads a shadowy existence in public, like many other sports. The overwhelming dominance of football draws all the attention, leaving only crumbs for the numerous other disciplines and athletes, which has corresponding consequences for funding from sponsors and TV revenues. Moritz Fürste is one of the most successful hockey players in the world and has been advocating for the promotion of Olympic sports against the commercial dominance of football for years. In this book, the world hockey player shares his personal story for the first time, including private setbacks. He critically examines the conditions for elite athletes outside of the big professional business.
