life and career
Due to his father's job, Martin Vogel was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He grew up in Beuren in Baden-Württemberg, today the teacher for English, geography and geography lives bilingually in Sulzgries and teaches at the Georgii-Gymnasium Esslingen. Martin Vogel only came to volleyball as an A-youth, before that he was an apparatus gymnast and played tennis. On June 8, 1993, an event occurred that drastically changed his life. Vogel did his community service in the Nürtingen psychiatry. He was accidentally shot by a gunman who wanted to kill his wife.

In 2011, standing volleyball was removed from the international program and a large part of the team with national coach Athanasios Papageorgiou switched to the national beach volleyball team for the disabled in 2014. Vogel has also been playing beach volleyball since 2011. He has also been a member of the national sitting volleyball team since 2013 .
