A total of 21 athletes, from the first to the third team of TSV Westendorf, are taking part in this training camp. For head coach Maximilian Goßner, who is responsible for the Greco-Roman discipline, such training days are a real enrichment. Here the athletes can not only check their current performance levels, but also receive valuable feedback. The pressure to improve by the start of the season on September 13, 2023 rests on the shoulders of many wrestlers who are expected to work harder on their deficits over the next two weeks.

The importance of wrestling training

TSV Westendorf not only values ​​physical fitness, but also a holistic approach to wrestling. Children learn to control their bodies through strength and balance exercises as well as technique training. Fairness is a central component of the training, which is supported by a fixed set of rules. Values ​​such as team spirit, respect and ambition are not only encouraged, but are essential for competitive sports, the club says on its website TSV Westendorf.

The children and young adults who get into the sport are characterized by a high level of discipline and growing self-confidence. During training, they not only recognize their own limitations, but also learn to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents. This all contributes to socialization and team spirit - values ​​that are important in both sport and life.

The path to the Olympic dream

The challenges that athletes have to overcome in competitive sports are immense. Elena Brugger, a talented wrestler, recently learned how hard work and perseverance can be rewarded - despite painful setbacks. After twice failing to qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo and Paris, she remained strong and sought sports psychological support. Her impressive training of ten sessions per week and her positive attitude make her a shining example of motivation in wrestling. In an article on the Mobile University She is quoted as stressing the importance of mental training.

Elena, who has already won bronze at the 2022 and 2023 European Championships and at the 2024 World Championships, is recovering from ankle surgery in rehab training. With her bachelor's degree in psychology and distance learning in business psychology, she would like to further spread the importance of sports psychology in top-class sport. 2025 will be a crucial year for her, where she not only wants to complete her master's degree, but also decide on her sporting future.

The strength of the wrestling community in Westendorf and Anger is reflected not only in the competition results, but also in the constructive club work and the dedication with which the athletes pursue their goals. The coming weeks promise exciting developments and intensive training work for everyone involved.
