Testimonials

This is what my students say

“I had the great privilege of attending not one but three of Ralf's lectures namely, Int. Strategic Management, Digitisation in Sports and, Organisational Development during my Sports Management program at UE Berlin. His innovative ideas towards delivering lectures along with keeping up with the latest trends in the field of Sports really made our lectures not just informative but also enjoyable since they were based on the concept of idea sharing and interaction rather than one way information delivery. Additionally, I found Ralf´s lectures so intriguing that they influenced me to write my thesis in the field of Organisational Development. He also mentored me along my journey during my thesis and his knowledge and experience, I'd say is second to none in those fields.”

Shubham Mane

“During my two-year tenure at UE, Ralf consistently demonstrated his helpfulness, people-oriented approach, and unwavering support. His extensive knowledge in Business Strategy, Corporate Development, and Digitization within the sports industry is truly impressive. Any organization would indeed be fortunate to have Ralf on board as a consultant or director.”

Hasan Arkadas

“Ralf stands out as one of the leading figures in sports management in Germany, and he is an exceptional scholar and trainer in the field of high potential and talent training and management. Having collaborated with Ralf over the years, I can confidently vouch for his invaluable coaching, leadership, and presentation skills. He would undoubtedly be a significant asset to any company that could benefit from his expertise.”

Dr. Qeis Kamran

“I was able to get to know Ralf's way of working and his ideas in three courses. In addition to his expertise in the field of sports management, I was particularly enthusiastic about the openly designed courses. Even during Covid-19 times he was able to make the lessons exciting and informative. Particularly noteworthy for me was the down-to-earth and direct approach during, as well as outside of, the classroom sessions. In addition, he also had my back during my master's thesis and supported me in all aspects. I can highly recommend Ralf as a coach, trainer, and teacher.”
