Coach Gordon Herbert Confirmed As Another Speaker At ISPO Munich 2023

ISPO Munich announces another top speaker: Gordon Herbert, coach of the German basketball world champions, will be a guest on the mainstage at this year’s trade fair. He joins NFL star Colin Kaepernick from the USA and swimmer Yusra Mardini from Syria in the international line-up of top speakers at the world’s largest trade fair for the sports industry. The Canadian coach, who led the German Basketball Association to its first-ever World Cup title in September, will speak on Tuesday, 26 November, at 4 p.m. He plans to talk about how to build a world champion team and how to unite talented individuals to create an even more successful team.

Unforgettable and already iconic images: While his players celebrated euphorically on the basketball court, national coach Gordon Herbert shunned the limelight. Instead, the architect of who masterminded the team’s success sat all alone on the carpeted floor in the catacombs and wiped tears from his eyes. The Canadian has coached the German men’s national basketball team since 2021, with whom he also won bronze on the home court at last year’s European Championships. Even more than winning the World Cup gold medal, Gordon Herbert says that invaluable experiences for him were being with the players and the people in the group and experiencing how everyone cared for and looked after each other: “With the right people and the right mindset, anything is possible. There are no limits for a team united by ONE mindset.”
