For many years, he stood in the shadow of others, but he remained persistent and trusted in his own abilities. This belief was rewarded: between 2017 and 2022, the Thuringian athlete experienced his golden years. Among other achievements, he won three Olympic gold medals, became a multiple world and European champion, and won the overall World Cup in the singles in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reaching the peak of his career, the police sergeant retired from active sport in 2022 \u2013 and started afresh. As a TV expert for ARD and ZDF, but above all as a keynote speaker, Johannes Ludwig now inspires companies, managers and teams. With his second passion, sailing, he also offers exclusive team-building incentives on the Baltic Sea \u2013 under the motto: <strong><em>\u2018Focus on ice \u2013 Passion on water\u2019.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his lectures, Johannes Ludwig speaks honestly and reflectively about success, failure, pressure to perform and motivation \u2013 and shows how techniques from top-level sport can be transferred to professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>His story is the best proof that perseverance, self-criticism and confidence in one&#8217;s own strengths pay off in the long term.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johannes Ludwig \u2013 Olympic champion &amp; top athlete, luge expert &amp; TV commentator, police commissioner Johannes Ludwig is one of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":113930,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[],"speaker-category":[16606,16597,16599,16600],"speaker-topic":[16656,16654,16644,16657,16662],"speaker-type":[16667,16665],"speaker-gender":[16670],"speaker-language":[16571],"class_list":["post-113941","speaker","type-speaker","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","speaker-category-impact-performance","speaker-category-online-speaker","speaker-category-sports","speaker-category-teambuilding-teamwork","speaker-topic-burnout-resilience-mental-health","speaker-topic-coach","speaker-topic-motivation-strategy","speaker-topic-team-sport","speaker-topic-work-life-balance","speaker-type-interview-guest","speaker-type-keynote-speaker","speaker-gender-men","speaker-language-german"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Book Johannes Ludwig for lectures and talks - Premium Speakers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Olympic luge champion Johannes Ludwig gives talks on motivation, success, high performance and excellence.
