Discover the highlight speakers at ISPO Munich 2024

The Zverev brothers were born into tennis. Mischa, formerly number 25 in the world rankings, won four doubles titles and one singles title on the ATP Tour. Today he is an entrepreneur and manager of his brother Alexander Zverev. Alexander, better known as Sascha, has also won numerous titles, including six Masters 1000 tournaments and the gold medal at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Despite suffering from type 1 diabetes, which forced him to inject himself with insulin during a toilet break, he triumphed in Tokyo. He took this experience as an opportunity to set up the Alexander Zverev Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting children with diabetes.

Together, the brothers are working on the future of sport by combining technology and performance. At ISPO Munich 2024, Alexander and Mischa Zverev will present their insights into the future of sport together with the startup "improvr" on the Main Stage. They will focus in particular on the exciting topics of mixed reality technology and brain-based performance training.

Julian Nagelsmann is not only the national coach of the German national soccer team, but also the youngest head coach in the history of the Bundesliga. One thing is certain: Germany has never experienced a national team coach like him. Der Spiegel recently described him as "young, easy-going, eloquent", while Stern magazine attested that he "feels responsible for more than just the match plan". In addition to his innovative training approaches, Nagelsmann is heavily involved in social projects, particularly in youth soccer.

On the Main Stage at ISPO Munich 2024, Nagelsmann will take stock of his first year as national team coach. He will talk about whether and how he has succeeded in re-inspiring soccer and the entire soccer nation. He will also explain his modern team approach and give an outlook on his future-oriented philosophy. All this and much more awaits you at ISPO Munich 2024.
