„So long as better is possible, good is not enough.“
As a student of Sepp Herberger (world cup winner 1954) Dettmar Cramer represents a training philosophy adapting the Graeco-Roman ideals of education. Therefore, it is the personality development that Dettmar Cramer has placed in the center of football coaching.
Already in the beginning of his coaching career Dettmar Cramer had realized that youth training must consider „the functions of the nerve pathways“ (Dettmar Cramer 1952). Cramer’s training philosophy anticipated neuroscientific findings of the 1990ies („Decade of the Brain“).
