He wrote: "We must free our soccer youth from the shackles of playing to order, along rails as it were. We must give them ideas and encourage them to develop their own". Meisl's early career showed an inclination toward sports and participation. He played amateur football as a goalkeeper in Vienna, and was even selected for the national side by his brother. He played tennis, boxing, swam, played water polo and later coached the Swedish side Hammarby Fotboll for two seasons from 1923. He completed legal studies in the early 1920s but his career was in print, working for a Berlin newspaper (Vossische Zeitung) from 1924 to 1933 before establishing himself as an astute author and editor. His work was also part of the literature event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics. Following the Nazis' seizure of power in Germany, he emigrated to the United Kingdom in January, 1934 and continued as a journalist. He worked in the press department of the British Olympic Committee prior to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, joined the British Army, and was a staff member of the Foreign Office. (en)
