Dr. Steffen Schiedek

After graduating from high school in 1990, I studied sports science, physics and computer science at the Georg-August University in Göttingen from 1993 to 2002 and completed my studies with the First State Examination. This was followed by a traineeship at the Wolfsburg Studienseminar for the teaching profession at grammar schools until 2004, which I completed with the Second State Examination in Sport and Physics.

In 2004, I received my doctorate (Dr disc. pol.) from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Georg-August University of Göttingen. My dissertation in sports psychology deals with the optimal arousal level in parachutists.

From 2004, I was employed as a teacher of sport, physics and computer science at the Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium in Wolfsburg - this was followed by teaching assignments and a secondment as a teacher for special tasks in 2005 and a transfer to the Institute of Sports Science at Leibniz Universität Hannover in 2011.
