It is the story of a gifted, uncompromising individual, born in Vienna in 1913 in the last days of the Austro-Hungarian empire, who overcame much of what the twentieth century flung in his path: leaving his native Vienna before the Nazis came to power, interned as an enemy alien in Britain and then in 1940 apparently\u00a0\u00a0surviving a submarine attack in the north Atlantic by clinging to a spar,\u00a0\u00a0deported to Australia on the infamous \u201cDunera\u201d and again being interned, trying to build a new life as a professional athletics coach there before deciding to return to the UK after World War Two.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-640x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"347\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-960x1536.jpg 960w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-1280x2048.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-696x1114.jpg 696w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-1068x1709.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography-263x420.jpg 263w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stampfl-front-page-franz-stampfl-biography.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/>Given the totemic aspect of Roger Bannister, ably supported by Chris Brasher and Chris Chataway, in achieving athletics history on that spring day in Oxford, Franz Stampfl\u2019s role was sometimes questioned in the then cultural climate of the amateur. The author Andreas Maier explores how this renowned trio\u2019s relationship with the Austrian differed between each of the three Britons. Throughout the biography Maier illustrates the social context of Franz Stampfl\u2019s path, whether it be the Lyons Tea Room on the King\u2019s Road, Chelsea where he held court to Bannister, Brasher and Chataway in the early 1950s or Jimmy Watson\u2019s Wine Bar beside the track where he coached at the University of Melbourne some years later. He was an innovator who guided Chris Brasher to a surprise Olympic victory in the steeplechase in Melbourne in 1956, sending him tape recordings of training advice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tarkine.com\/collections\/auto-pilot\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66735 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Autopilot-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More than one athlete is quoted in this biography as saying to the effect that you never discussed anything with Franz, you were only given the chance to agree with him. At the same time, many, Roger Bannister and the 1968 Olympic 800m champion Ralph Doubell of Australia included, agreed that Stampfl had the ability to \u201cget inside your head\u201d, to inspire and make you believe you could do just about anything. Once Stampfl and his Australian wife Patricia had settled in his new homeland, he continued to coach, his ability to inspire undimmed but also the knack of making enemies equally sharp. A notorious occasion is described where Stampfl and Australian rival\u00a0\u00a0Percy Cerutty, coach to Herb Elliott, circled each other \u201clike birds of prey\u201d at a pre-athletics meeting reception, to the bemusement of the innocent host.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/franz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/franz.jpg 430w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/franz-300x244.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Franz Stampfl brought the keen gaze of the Vienna art school student to his coaching, painting throughout his life to the accompaniment of Bach Cantatas and compositions by Vivaldi. &#8220;Running is an art, and every runner must be thought of as an artist,&#8221; is one of his sayings. The book is a reminder that he not only coached the elite to great heights, he was among the first to encourage the running or jogging movement by starting organised morning sessions in a Melbourne Park.<\/p>\n<p>Franz Stampfl\u2019s life changed irrevocably one Friday evening in 1981 when a fellow driver hit the back of his sports car, parked at a traffic light. The 68-year-old was rendered tetraplegic, unable to move but could still speak. He lived another 14 years, even returning to his coaching duties beside the track after much torment, commenting: \u201cI thought that as long as I could speak, I could still coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anton Stampfl, Franz&#8217;s son, made a crucial contribution to the biography with documents and personal recollections. Franz Stampfl was a force of Nature in everything he did. As a coach he was an innovator whose greatest gift was to impart visionary goals to others. His indomitable drive to persevere in desperate situations was a key factor of this ability. During his lifetime his talents were not always recognised but his achievements were marked by the award of a World Athletics Heritage Plaque in 2019. This biography by Andreas Maier presents Franz Stampfl as an unforgettable individual who had an impact on many lives.<\/p>\n<p>The translation of the English Edition is by Andy Edwards, journalist and broadcaster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe legacy of Franz Stampfl?
