MANUEL CHARR – REIGNING WBA HEAVY WEIGHT BOX WORLD CHAMPION

Manuel Charr is the new WBA World Champion. A true heavy weight, also in regards to his life’s story, which has taken him through all valleys before he made it to the very top of the world.

His story is his view on life, that sets an example for anyone chasing high goals – face challenges and accept them as an integral part of your personal path towards your goals!

“The will to succeed only works with an uncompromising preparation.”, conveys a lot of this champion’s powerful work ethic.

Experience Manuel Charr at DAASM Symposium 2018 at FIBO.

JIMMY RADCLIFFE – University of Oregon (USA)
High Powered Plyometrics for efficient Speed and Strength

Jimmy Radcliffe, Strength und Athletic Development Coach at the University of Oregon (USA), is one of the most respected explosive power and strength & conditioning coaches within and beyond the borders of the USA, when it comes to efficient ground force application for explosive acceleration. He prepared USA’s women’s Olympic Hockey Team for the winter games in Pyeong Chang 2018.

Any sport with speed over ground, will hugely benefit from Jimmy’s talk and workshop at our Symposium! Jimmy Radcliffe has also published numerous best selling books and videos on Plyometrics and Explosive Power.  So, wether you are a coach or a therapist – don’t miss him at DAASM’s 4th annual Symposium on April 12 and 14, in Cologne Germany!

“POWER PLYOMETRICS – Efficiency in Power and Speed”.

EFTHIMIOS ‘EFFI’ KOMPODIETAS – Brain Activity
Emotional Resillience as the key for mental Strength

The charismatic Effi Kompodietas had been a professional Soccer player in the German Bundesliga himself. His credibility has earned him the trust of many of Germany’s Bundesliga Clubs as well as of the National DFB Team.

His talk will address team sports as well as individual sports: “The Ego’s impact on team play and the Team’s supporting power for the ego – The interaction between the I & We.”. Be ready for an inspiring talk with strong practical elements, which will challenge your abilities.

DAASM feels very lucky to have Effi on this year’s stage.

JOHN PRYOR – National Strength & Athletic Coach Rugby JAPAN (AUS)

Being around the Australian, JOHN PRYOR is a true experience! The highly decorated athletic coach is a legend in Japan. With his methods, he led the Japanese Rugby National Team, against all forecasts to the top of the rugby world.

In his lecture and workshop sessions, John will show many exercises and training videos from his repertoire and allow us to learn from his journeys.

PROF. WOLFGANG SCHÖLLHORN – Institute of Sports Sciences, University of Mainz (GER)

The charismatic scientist from the University of Mainz will demonstrate in his lecture and workshops motor learning methods that stimulate the neuro-motor system via the variable approach of differential learning. An extremely valuable insight not only for those, who work in sports, but in general for all those who seek to improve the quality of movement through perception – including health care practitioners dealing with neurological diseases (eg ataxias). Whether a coach with a medical focus, or a physiotherapist with coaching quality – here, expectations will be exceeded.

Highly recommended!

MIHA ROBNIK – National Strength & Conditioning Coach (SLO)

Miha Robnik has led national teams and individual athletes through two Olympic cycles as their strength and conditioning coach. The DAASM lecturer will moderate the program of the Workshop-Sunday “PHYSIO AT WORK”, April 15, 2018, where he will also convey his secrets of his work on the highest international level of sports.

Highly recommended especially for physiotherapists of all specialties.

SEBASTIAN DEBNAR-DAUMLER – Sports Psychologist of the German Track & Fields Federation (GER)

Psychologist, Sebastian Debnar-Daumler, enters the game when the coach and the therapist usually loose their grip onto the software of the athlete.

Dealing with anticipation, anxiety, stress, and performance gets harder as the athlete progresses up the ladder.

His talk and workshop (only on April 12, 2018) is definitely something for anyone engaged with team and individual sports.

A real highlight – only on April 12, 2018!

PATRICK ESUME – Head Coach American Football Team France (GER)

Coach Esume is the iconic star of the German American football scene. The eloquent book writer and entertainer has led the French national team as head coach to the title at the Universiade 2017.

Coach Esume is the anchor man of RAN Live on German TV and he will be leading through  the DAASM Symposium on April 14, 2018. Let’s look forward to an entertaining day!

A real MUST-DO on April 14, 2018, HALL 7, FIBO.

MARTIN HANSELMANN – Former National Head Coach – American Football Team Germany (GER)

With Coach Esume on stage, Martin Hanselmann can’t be missing as a speaker! As ex-national coach Team Germany, Hanselmann still holds achievement records that his successors have not been able to reach until today.

Martin will talk about his view on all these training methods merging onto the market, his secret to successfully build great athletes, and especially the fact that reduction of the spectrum of exercises seems to be the key to succeed.

The experienced coach will be a real inspiration to anyone who has become self-employed or is about to make a decision.
