Shorttrack Champ Felix Spiegl

April 20, 2011

One who with great interest is  looking forward to the decision wether the Olympic Wintergames in 2018 will take place in his hometown Munich, is Felix Spiegl. In his sports – shorttrack – the 14 years old made great progress during the last season.  In March at the Junior Europa Cup, sort of an inofficial European Championship, where the best skaters from East and West competed, he was on the winners’ podium in all three race distances of his age category  C, and overall he attained second  place behind the strong Hungarian Alex Varnyú . Three weeks later, at the German Junior Championships, Felix was as successful as you can get, as he won all the the distances 500, 1000 and 1500m to become overall German Junior C Champion in front of his teammates  Leon Kaufmann-Ludwig and Markus Graf.

Felix knows he has to work even harder in the years to come in order to be one to represent his country at the Olympic Wintergames in 2018, which his objective is. The committee’s decision on coming July, 6th, to choose Munich as the host city would give the young sportsman, as well as the other hopefuls from his club SLIC Munich,  a big boost. Besides school and training  not much time will be left  for   hobbies such as tennis, playing the guitar, photography. However the outcome,  I’m confident that Felix will retain his pleasant personality.

Upcoming talents in photography

August 15, 2010

Last week two boys aged 14 accompanied me to a youth tournament in tennis. The idea was  to practise sports photography. The same day we shot pics of a group of boys having fun with their BMX-bikes and boards. And we went to a nearby lake to  do some nature photographs.

The outcome was phantastic. I was amazed how much talent these young guys had, how creative they were. Have a look at their sites:

Soccer Worldcup 2010

June 22, 2010

It’s a tradition: During the Worldcup there is a Mini Worldcup being played in Munich/ Germany. 11 years old boys from local football clubs represent the participants of the real one. For the kids it’s a great experience they won’t forget. Maybe they don’t feel like being in Southafrica, but they revel in the role of the greatest players of all continents. And they might become a great one in the future. One, who took part in the Mini Worldcup in 1994 is PHILIPP LAHM, just now in Southafrica as the captain of the German team.

Peter Heller wins Rudi-Berger-Cup

May 12, 2010

In memory of Rudi Berger, the former popular tournament director, a junior competition carrying his name is being played in the frame of the prestigious BMW Open in Munich. The aim is to give up-and-coming tennis talents the opportunity to experience an ATP tour event at first hand. On sunday 18 years old Peter Heller hailing from Cham in Bavaria won the  final of the cup against Albert Wagner from Amberg 6:4, 7:5 in a dramatic game, in which both opponents showed sparkling abilities.

For his victory Peter Heller received a wild card for next year’s BMW Open. This very year – if everything goes well – the young man, who is on position 37 in the world junior rankings U18  – is going to play the Junior Championships of Roland Garros, Wimbledon and New York.  Gifted and determined as he is,  in a couple of years he might go far in professional tennis. Watch out for him! I’ve been admiring his dynamic body language, his pugnacious dedication since he was 12.

Sports Fair Play

April 9, 2010

This is about FAIRPLAY. This is against violence in sports, which we experience increasingly  in soccer stadiums, and not only there. Lack of mutual respect is one of the reasons. As such sports is not a role model for our youth, but a despicable bad example. To fight this deplorable development Dr. Rainer K. Liedtke, physician and author, has initiated a non-commercial campaign “sports against violence”. The mascots “Benny and Maggy” stand for friendliness and non-agression.

Information and action material may be obtained from the address below.


*Neue Aktion „Sport statt Gewalt“ *

Nicht nur in Fussball-Stadien erleben wir leider derzeit eine zunehmende Gewalt. Mangelnder gegenseitiger Respekt ist eine der Ursachen solcher Konflikte. Diese verderben den weit überwiegend friedlichen Sportfreunden und Club-Fans sinnlos die Freude, z.B. am Fußball. Vereine und Behörden kostet es zusätzlich noch viel Geld durch vermehrte Überwachungs-Massnahmen .

Dem nur zusehen nützt nichts. Das wollte auch der selbst sportbegeisterte Arzt, Wissenschaftler und Schriftsteller Dr. Rainer K. Liedtke, Grünwald, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainer_Liedtke nicht mehr. So rief er nun die nicht-kommerzielle Aktion „Sport statt Gewalt“ ins Leben.

Schon aus seinen eigenen Forschungen zu Schmerz und Stress lag nahe dies aktiv anzugehen. Das Ziel ist einfach: Freundlichkeit ist eine Form von Respekt die Spannung abbaut. Operativ soll Aggression durch positive optische Leitmotive beeinflusst werden. Hierfür wurden die Figuren „Benny und Maggy“ gewählt, deren ausstrahlende Freundlichkeit sich schon an anderer Stelle als „Stress-Killer“ bewährte. „Gute Stimmung einzelner oder gar einer Gruppe wirkt auf Andere „ansteckend“ wie eine Infektion. Das verhindert Aggression oft schon im Keim und ist besser als einen Konflikt schlichten zu müssen“ sagte Liedtke. Hierzu wird daher kostenlos Material (Karten. Buttons) zur Verfügung gestellt. „Die Sport-Vereine, die wir auswählen spielen daher auch eine Pionier-Rolle dass sie es mit unserem friedlichen Umgang ernst meinen. Davon können ja nur alle profitieren“.
