After the 4:0 victory of the German national team against Australia, the ZDF Fan Expert Dennis Wiese has been in the ZDF World Cup Studio in South Africa with Oliver Kahn and Katrin Mülller-Hohenstein for the first time.
As "the voice of the fans" Dennis Wiese represented the opinion of the fans. On the website www.fanorakel.de soccer fans have the chance to express their opinion on subjects like the loud Vuvuzelas and Miroslav Klose. Two out of three fans voted that the Vuvuzelas are too loud and annoying, one third say they are cool. For 81% of the fans it has been the right choice to put Miroslav Klose as the only player up front.
Oliver Kahn has been inspired by the achievement of the German national team:
"What we have seen today, was fantastic. It was a perfectly organized game. There were many rehearsed moves, the team is fit. This was a perfect start and a perfect evening."

Since his "I can do it" motivation programme in German schools in 2009, Oliver Kahn has been concerned about teenagers. This was reason enough for him to write a book especially for them - to motivate them, to show them that pursuing  it one’s dreams is worth the trouble. His advice: Set goals, find friends you can rely on such as in a football team. Learn from defeats.

The fact that not everything works at the beginning is something Oliver Kahn has learned from experience: from his time in the under-17 team of the Karlsruher SC football club, from his first match in the German Premier League, during which he had to concede four goals, or from the famous World Cup final 2002. This book is personal, colourful, and brimming with motivating messages and stories. Personally, clearly, full of motivating messages and stories:
A book that makes young people strong – and which allows to believe in themselves and their own dreams.


"You can do it"
The book will be published by Pendo and will be available end of September 2010.

The most sucessful German goalkeeper of all ages, Oliver Kahn, was honoured with the ISPO cup this year. Since 1971 top athletes who take an ideal function for young people receive the award for the international sports business network ispo.

Oliver Kahn was awarded with the ISPO Cup not only because he is a top athlete but also because he advocates himself for different youth projects after the end of his soccer career. In the context of the „I can do it Tour with Oliver Kahn“, an initiative of the German child welfare association and easy living, the triple world goalkeeper exerts himself increasingly for the motivation of young people at Bavarian schools.

The ISPO Cup was handed within the scope of ispo10 by Klaus Dittrich, CEO of the fair München GmbH. Laudator was Sepp Maier, Oliver Kahn's idol and long-standing goalkeeper coach.

 

„I can do it Tour with Oliver Kahn" with a persuasive final

To anchor the subject motivation, mental strength and dealing with defeats in the German educational system Oliver Kahn went to twelve schools in Bavaria in order to introduce the students and teachers in his motivation program “I can do it”.

On December 7th 2009 the persuasive final of Oliver Kahns Tour “I can do it” took place in Königsbrunn near Augsburg:
More than 600 students took part in this for now last school event of Oliver Kahns Tour. Together with Oliver Kahn they talked about motivation, goals and how to deal with defeats.

The program aims to strengthen the personal development of teenagers, provides them with perspectives and encourages them to set and to strive to achieve personal goals.An important component of this program is the further education of the teachers at the schools with the aim to be able to support the young people in their plans.

The Tour "I can do it" contained the visit of one special school, three high schools, five intermediate secondary schools and seven secondary general schools. About 4200 students took part at these school events with Oliver Kahn. In order to ensure sustainability more than 250 teachers were further educated in the principles of the "I can do it" program.

At the Sports Media Ball in Frankfurt Oliver Kahn was honoured as a „legend in sports“.

Oliver Kahn who finished his career in 2008 receives the award for his sports career and social engagement.

Oliver Kahn is involved in the motivation program "I can do it" for children and youngsters. He reported: ”I would like to transmit something to the young people. My lectures at Bavarian schools are about how to deal with defeats“.

"I am very honoured to receive this award", said Wilson.
"France and particulary Paris always have been an artistic home for me. Since 'The murder from Deafman glance' in 1971, I have presented more than 35 theatre pieces in Paris. No other city, no other country knows my work better."

The French actress Isabelle Huppert who handed the award to her friend Wilson said in her laudatio:” Through him theatre becomes a playground of infinite freedom."

After the summer break Oliver Kahn now continues his motivational tour, an initiative of easy living and the Deutsche Kinderschutzbund (German child protection agency), through schools in Bavaria.

The program aims to strengthen the kids in their development, to give them perspectives and to encourage them to set goals for themselves and to track these forcefully.

In her laudation von Welck praised his legendary Hamburg productions as well as his outstanding artistic commitment for disabled young people. Wilson himself thanked “this beautiful city for supporting my work and for giving me a home.”

The exhibition runs from the 17th of October 2009 until the 10th of January 2010.

Success means triumph and recognition, but also backlash and defeat. Using the example of many personal experiences Oliver Kahn in his book ´Ich. Erfolg kommt von innen.´ (´Me. Success comes from the inside.´) tells about the demands and exertions, about aimed and achieved targets, about pressure from the inside and outside. Oliver Kahn reveals his strategies, how he learned to cope with success in all its colors, also with its negative aspects and how he remained loyal to himself.

Now Oliver Kahn’s book ´Ich. Erfolg kommt von innen.´ is also available as audio book on the market. The Lübbe Audio publishing company publishes the audio book in an edited version, read by the actor and dubbing speaker Dietmar Wunder, the German dubbing voice of the recent James Bond actor Daniel Craig. The unabridged version is additionally available for download at www.audible.de .
