Philipp Laux (born January 25, 1973 in Rastatt ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper . After his career as a player, he studied psychology and has accompanied various Bundesliga clubs as a team psychologist since 2008 . In addition, the doctor of psychology has been self-employed since July 2018. As a coach, psychologist and expert, he accompanies executives from top-class sport and business. In his lectures he transfers knowledge from professional football into the world of companies.

Career as a player

After he was the first goalkeeper at VfB Gaggenau at the age of 18, Philipp Laux switched to Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund as a substitute goalkeeper in 1993 . Here he was not used and one year later he moved to the Regionalliga Süd for SSV Ulm 1846 . There he soon became a regular goalkeeper and was in goal with the Spatzen after promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1998. He played all second division games and celebrated the - surprising - direct march into the Bundesliga at the end of the season . With 34 Bundesliga games in the 1999/2000 season, he is the player of the club with the most appearances in the German upper house. As team captain, he was also one of the leading players. In his six years with Ulm, Laux only missed one league game.

After the direct relegation, Laux left the club and joined Borussia Dortmund again. This time the substitute was used eight times. Since he did not want to be second goalkeeper permanently, he moved to Eintracht Braunschweig in 2002 , who had been promoted from the Regionalliga Nord to the 2nd Bundesliga. However, Laux had to end his career because of cartilage damage in his left knee.

Career after active professional sport

After retiring from his career, he began studying psychology at the University of Mannheim , which he graduated with a diploma in 2008. In 2015 Philipp Laux received his doctorate from Heidelberg University. He also started training as a coach.

From 2004 he worked for the DFB and, as a goalkeeper coach, looked after several German youth teams at the respective qualifying matches for the European Championship and World Championship as well as the German women's national team for a short time in 2005 .

In the summer of 2006 he joined the coaching staff of his former coach Ralf Rangnick and became a goalkeeping coach at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim . For the 2008/09 season he moved to FC Bayern Munich , where he worked as a team psychologist in the coaching staff of Jürgen Klinsmann , Jupp Heynckes , Louis van Gaal and Andries Jonker and again worked in the same role under Jupp Heynckes. In July 2012 he moved in the same position to the then fourth division club RB Leipzig . Laux worked as a team psychologist at VfB Stuttgart until the 2017/2018 season . From July 1, 2018, Laux was self-employed as a psychologist, coach and expert and transferred knowledge from top-class sport to the economy until he returned to Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of May 2020. Here he works for the licensed players, the coaching and functional staff of the Bundesliga team.
