She knows what it takes for teams to work together successfully, for leadership to have an impact and for customers to be inspired. In our fast-paced, optimization-driven everyday lives, genuine encounters often fall by the wayside.

Johnny Ertl
Ex-professional soccer player
“Game intelligence – What we can learn from professional soccer about leadership, mental clarity and communication”
Johnny Ertl knows professional soccer from the inside – and from several perspectives: as a long-time player in the Austrian Bundesliga and in England (including at Crystal Palace, Sheffield United, Portsmouth FC), as a captain, board member, sports director, TV soccer expert and communication coach for Bundesliga coaches.
He helps soccer coaches to analyze their matches in English, to prepare professionally for press conferences and international media appearances – and to present themselves confidently in terms of both content and language. It’s not just about language, but also about attitude, clarity, impact, authenticity and inner conviction.
At the heart of his work is intrinsic motivation – the inner energy that is not generated by pressure, but by purpose, values and personal clarity. As a speaker, Johnny Ertl provides insights into the world of professional sport – combined with mental success strategies, leadership experience and practical tools for communication, self-management and team development.
His presentations are inspiring, practical and authentic – for companies, managers, trainers, teams and decision-makers who are interested in mental strength, leadership from top-class sport and sustainable performance development.
