Göing came from Hanover and played handball at the top level at TC Limmer . He played basketball at the Army Sports School in Wünsdorf under Hugo Murero and in Göttingen .

In 1936, Göing took part in the German national basketball team at the Summer Olympics in Berlin . He was one of the top performers of the German team and played other international matches until 1942 and was partly a player-coach after 1939.

At club level, he won the basketball tournament at the Gymnastics and Sports Festival in Breslau with MTV Wünsdorf in 1938 , which is unofficially considered the first German championship.

During the Second World War, Göing was a soldier on the front lines in France and the Soviet Union, among other things. After the end of the war he lived in Göttingen, his wife's hometown. He was instrumental in building basketball structures in the city. Göing founded the basketball department of the Göttingen game association (SVG) in 1946 and was also active as a player for the SVG team, with whom he took part in the first post-war championship in Darmstadt in 1947 as a representative of Lower Saxony and achieved third place. At the official level, Göing headed the basketball department in the Lower Saxony Sports Association. In 1950 he was involved in the founding of the Lower Saxony basketball association and took over the post of chairman, which he held until 1956.

Göing ran a tobacco shop in Göttingen; he died in Usingen in 1994 . "In its two development phases before and after the war, German basketball is inconceivable without the diverse involvement of Emil Göing," said Hans-Dieter Krebs in the DBB-Journal, the newspaper of the German Basketball Federation , in recognition of Göing's merits.
