“Anyone who wants to make a difference in life should start with themselves,” says Dr. Ben Baak. For more than 10 years, Dr. Baak worked as a scientific researcher at the German Sport University in Cologne, where his responsibilities also included microgravity research. The sudden passing of his father completely changed his way of life. He developed the wish for an increased and sustainable commitment to his community. Dr. Baak has coached many successful entrepreneurs and personalities such as Bodo Schäfer and Toni Schumacher. His goal is to harmonize health, well-being, and productivity on the three levels of body, mind, and soul. With inspiring lectures, the PhD sports scientist inspires his audience and supports the everyday life of many people with such systems as the 3x3=3®, which he developed with a team of experts based on the most recent scientific evidence.
