That s a funny story, Hofmann said on the DFB website, because I wanted to stop football, I played at that time parallel football, handball and golf. When I was twelve years old, my parents said: Now you decide for two sports. We can not drive you every day 100 kilometers through the area. So I wanted to stop football.

Nevertheless, the 29-year-old is now a starred Bundesliga professional and was last set in the DFB team under Hansi Flick on the right defense side. The reason that he continued his career: Hofmann had participated in a sighting tournament with the Baden choice as a conclusion of his still young football career and received still on the same evening a call of the Youth Coordinator of the TSG Hoffenheim.

And luckily I realized what a great chance that is. So I stopped at the gulf instead of football. Although I was talented in the Gulf - the largest youth tournament in Germany had won and had a handicap of 19 - , yet that was probably the right decision from today s perspective, Hofmann led out.
