Born in Vienna, he changed his nationality after disputes with his federation and competed for Germany at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

"Matthias Steiner's talk at a DFL employee event made a lasting impression on all participants. His very personal experiences and vivid descriptions of how self-drive and focus, but also dealing with defeats and setbacks can shape a career, left no one cold. Many people talk about motivation and willpower. But it made him an Olympic champion". C. Seifert, GF Deutsche Fußball Liga DFL
"You gave a great presentation yesterday. The 1,200 invited guests rightly gave you the biggest applause in recent years. We particularly liked your empathetic style of presentation. You had the whole room on your side. So to speak "Grade 1 with asterisk". It was also nice that they were so close to the people and were available for autographs and pictures long after the lecture. An extra thank you for this!" VR Bank Biedenkopf-Gladenbach eG
