Matt Laur, WR Tollense Sharks, Oberliga Ost
(Scroll for English Text)Matthew Laur ist Import-Wide Receiver bei den Tollense Sharks (Oberliga Ost). Letztes Jahr war er bei den Gießen Golden Dragons (GFL2). Der 24-jährige hat an der University of Minnesota Morris College Football gespielt und war im Draft Pool der XFL. Was ist seine Motivation als Importspieler? Wie ist die Situation eines Imports in Deutschland und worauf achten die Importe, wenn sie sich für ein Team entscheiden? Matt erklärt uns, wie er sein Training das gesamte Jahr über periodisiert und worauf genau er achtet, wenn er seine Gamevideos analysiert. Anschließend reden wir allgemein über die gefühlten Unterschiede zwischen dem Leben in Minnesota und in Deutschland und über alles, was er aus seinen Reisen mitnehmen wird. Der Talk ist ca. 90min und auf ENGLISCH. Die Audioversion gibt es beim Podcast Dealer Eures Vertrauens. Matthew Laur-Power is an Import Wide Receiver who currently plays for the Tollense Sharks (4th League East). Last year he played for the Gießen Golden Dragons (2nd Leauge South Division), where he was one of the top 10 overall Wide Receivers. The 24 year old played College Football at University of Minnesota Morris (DIV 3) and was in the XFL Draft Pool without attending a combine. What motivates him as an import player? What is it like to be an import player in Germany? What should import players consider before signing with a German team? Matt takes us through his training periodization for the entire year and goes in great detail about pre and post snap reads as a Wide Receiver. We then discuss exactly what he looks at in his film study and how he uses video to improve his play. We discuss the differences between life in Minnesota and Germany, and about the life lessons learned as a traveling football player. The episode is approximately 90min long and in ENGLISH (except for a brief one minute intro in German). Audio versions are available on any major podcast platform and the video is also available on Youtube.
