At the age of three, it was very clear to me
a career as a rider if you have it
so will
as a professional athlete that was
The big goal and Rose got me up
accompanied like a mentor on the way
a good friend and above all how
someone who keeps coming back if there is one
Bad is also building up
it was indeed my life
the first 20 years strong from
was characterized by competitive sports
sweat sweating workout hard work
but it has paid off
I was one of the best junior in the country
show jumping here in germany and it
It also taught me a lot
continuing faster is not always faster
the goal
I have sometime in an im
hamsterrad felt it was indeed
so that the success was there but
finally really happy
it did not make me i have despite
as often as it is with us
everyone in the room is desired
simply by molding gas
higher even faster in your studies
Full time studies feeling full time
worked and as farther than farther than
continue
but at some point this actually came
point where you feel we have
It does not get any further
Paralyzed paralyzed by what one
actually every day you get power
the shoulder-pats because it’s all
Good
but even you do not feel anymore
and that very moment that was where
I thought sport was the last
given a lot but it still has to
give more than cup medals and
I have tried the sport
in fact, in a different way
discover
I was on my way and
what is the deeper meaning of
sport why do we do sports why
We want to return every day
torture why want us every day
also finally on the way given
the one because of the figure of the
next white makes happy so has
for every sport a very special one
meaning for me meanwhile is
sport lasting two terms that way
hardly anyone mentioned together
but it is clear
the sport is sustainable
in the meantime we need in the place
actually in lower ones are in
a sports activity in the
time when I was really bad
I looked at what options for
occupy me professionally
Schmitten or at the end of the
studies and I was wondering is that
I had actually times before taking
the big career in the group is exactly that
what I want
in the situation at all not me
often have two people in the time
met
for me today two very special
people who live my life after
successful career in sports
actually shaped until today
and these are the characteristics of yokes and juices
sevda belonged if we met
have to the girl the education
technically no chance at all
had
Stapler comes from a Turkish
family and was on the way to
Germany
in daily turbulence advised itself
He never had the chance to go to school
eye level with her other colleagues
or classmates to come with
he actually has notes on the spot
stay seated you have all these topics
hardly any friends
present because the language problems
definitely more pronounced were more often
is just one of the children that every
sixth child in germany the education
has difficulty or none at all
perspectives
thus would be even possible even never
been here in the room with us
and in some form at such
to participate in topics and talks
Jochen in return as I him
met
was a completely different person than ever
in the middle of the education to the confectioner
and just before the interim exam at the
evening of the celebration was definitely easy
just on the verge of life too
enjoy
his best friends around
have and the evening just right
really good to celebrate
but something should come differently
at some point disappeared
His friends sought him and found him
but not a few hours later
the night came the young news
man was found at stuttgart
central station on the roof of a railway s
with heavy current burns and
critically injured
four days later he has the time
hospital spent in koma was clear
both lower legs and also a poor one
must be amputated
This moment has for me again
Everything has changed his story
I also changed but to the positive
even if it is with all the tragic
actually can not believe today
yoke and even there are two people
with which I kicked off at the start
go live kickoff to the life is a
nonprofit association of over five
founded over 15 years ago
is that of the two gentlemen that
are anton nagl on the right side
and Dietmar hop the founder of the sap
The two had already very early
plan that sport is much more than
only the success and the big medals
cups and championships for the head
was clearly kickoff to the life, the
conviction or can the reality
let us have children and
Giving adolescents better perspectives
can
that happens on an idea that children
and teenagers about the sport far and wide
motivated are professional and educational
also to give gas to social gas
together with the friends too
learn jointly to
in the occupation orientation strongly too
and finally do the sport as
right motivator for life too
use
The association now funds 3500
children and adolescents per year
and we do that here in the region
as a pioneer project throughout
Germany we have nine different ones
locations where we are with teenagers
which in the corresponding
Partner associations and associations in the
football handball and ice hockey and golf
from the circle up to the high
bundesliga various possibilities
Offer
say it is important to us everyone
to take along regardless of talent
origin religion or skin color
Meanwhile, there is also a program
to people like yoke who are after heavy
fatalities over the sport too
get fit again
over 200 amputees from the
region are part of the project and
have the possibility over
different programs again theirs
to find it back before the
amputation in time in the hospital
but also very clearly afterwards with one
big network and that too is the
crucial topic the network the
are people who work with people
they now support a team
of over 50 employees over 230
trainer and caretaker but 70 teachers
just a lot of companies
Company partners are in their
role as a company and that
quite obviously also very conscious
are responsible for taking over
the region also has its money
We deserve it and we take it
occasion that we have here people from
managing employee
Entrepreneur who wants to
especially as a person
the efd had football her life
changed the chance received in
one of our partners for a football
to play has become an issue
fought and has the football
again and again as a target if I had
I can give that gas in there too
Meanwhile, she has other areas
from the secondary school
Realschule graduated
of course with ups and downs though
definitely very far ahead
and finally , it’s here now
since this year in september
trainees after a very complete
long way and the way was rocky though
it has paid off and the
Sport has just given her the courage
continue
Joachim has dropped off after four
hard years in the hospital reha and
various other up and down to it
Determined depending on heidelberg too
come to the region where kickoff ins
life has yokes on the spot
directly and then tries again new
mutes and of course from the
situation as a confectioner
he has completed the training
but realized that it was not that
he finally the last ones
he can also retrain as years
media designer but no company
here because someone is finally ready
without legs and without arm
therefore at the place
For yokes always a difficulty
but the sport was also at the
put the whole thing back for him
motivator jochen tries everything
meanwhile plays sitzvolleyball and
the impressive is just for
marathon for me is jochen one
absolutely great role model every day
to have the courage to stand up with pain
but ultimately to be gone
he is also currently speaking at the moment
Author and speaker for a variety of
namely concern area of
Disability sports is fascinating
Jochen says after all these today
he lacks nothing on difficult days
the only thing that jochen can not do is like him
asserting itself is clapping
When I hear something like that, I always get it
a lot of goose bumps because it is for me
it’s amazing what to see every day
people can afford and what we do
all to what we are capable of
we just have to believe in ourselves
and sport is in place for
me
for many of my colleagues as well
for the people whom it is easy
harder in the end it was more difficult
in the life and less success had for
that is beyond question that forms sport
the sports chances are that sport for
many children’s only hope is
Often the sport is far more than education
only successes celebrate medals cups
it is part of it, we need it all
also the recognition but we have
in the end a lot more what we are
can
Above all, sport has the integrative
power as nelson once did
Mandela said sports press change the
world meanwhile after all these years
It’s been six years since I was
answer to life
and as I said I never had that
theme yourself in a social
organization would like to work but how
life comes as life does
sometimes plays is all but a
piece far different
it made me courage exactly
to pursue the way for me
finally stand
Finally, speak for me too
to find a way to be happy
can
Conclusion of the topic is everyone is winner
I am because I found for myself
which makes sense to me what everyone means to me
day power gives rise and gas
But also for the children and
youthful
whether black and white atheist
Catholic does not care about Muslim
the sport has no possibility to
distinguish
He does not do it all for us, though
important that we all here in the room
idea also sprinkle that we clearly that
word share clearly the idea also
to share that we can all do that
My wish is yours
especially with your head with the body
and especially with the heart
that’s really amazing
fun kids and teenagers too as
Mentor to stand by and all
to give a perspective for life
i think it’s not nice though
If you think a different and
After that helps one does for each one
what in this sense
[Applause]
