National Basketball Association's (NBA) Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki has a close mentor, coach, and friend in Holger Geschwindner, a former basketball player with a profound impact on the young superstar's career.
Geschwindner's connection to Nowitzki dates back to when the future basketball legend was just 16 years old, and their relationship has only grown stronger over time.
In addition to his role as mentor and coach, Geschwindner has also been an official coach of the Dallas Mavericks, providing guidance and support to the team throughout his tenure.
Moreover, Geschwindner is the founder and operator of a basketball academy in Würzburg, which he has dubbed "the Institute of Applied Nonsense." This unique facility serves as a hub for his innovative approach to basketball training and development.
In his quest for basketball excellence, Geschwindner has conducted extensive research and analysis, including a groundbreaking study in 1995 that calculated the optimum angle of a jump shot to be a precise 60 degrees.
