ASV Hamm-Westfalen starts the season preparation with fresh wind

The ASV Hamm-Westfalen starts the new season with an exciting change. The start of training, which took place in the Stein-Halle on Monday, not only marks the start of preparation for the upcoming handball season, but also an important turning point for the team and her new coach Michael Hegemann.

A look at the change of coach

Michael Hegemann took over the responsibility of Michael Lerscht and brings a breath of fresh air. The new trainer emphasizes the importance of this transition period. "We are in the middle of a change and first have to find out where our performance is. This preparation is crucial for being able to set realistic goals," said Hegemann. New in the squad are, among others, Tom Jansen and Ian Güter, each of whom came from other clubs. This shows that the club endeavors to reorganize.

the upheaval as an opportunity

The changes in the squad are considerable: After a last home game that took place on June 3, nine players were adopted. According to Hegemann, this change is an opportunity to bring new impulses to the team. "We now have to work on integrating the new game philosophy and growing together as a team," he said. The upcoming training camp in Halberstadt plays a central role here at the beginning of August.

preparation program in detail

The ASV preparation program includes several test games that offer the opportunity to test the newly compiled team under competition conditions. The first game against TSV Bayer Dormagen takes place on July 31, followed by further encounters. Hegemann plans to initially focus on the defense before the tactical attacks in the training camp are refined. "We want to create the basics on which we can continue to build," said the trainer.

a new training environment for the players

The new players not only bring fresh ideas, but also of different great experience. Hegemann observed that players in Hamm are often more mature and more experienced than those with whom he worked at TuSem Essen. This requires a different training approach that is more geared towards tactics than on development.

The importance of team education

Hegemann emphasizes that the focus and team chemistry are in the foreground. "Each training is an important step in the process to build a functioning team structure that is not easy with the preparation," he emphasizes. The continuous work on team dynamics will be crucial for success in the upcoming season.

rise between hope and reality

The goal for the new season is certain: ASV Hamm-Westphalia does not want to be perceived as an outsider, but with the claim to win in every game. "We have to face the competition and are aware that there are many teams in the league who also want to climb," said Hegemann. This ambitious approach could lay the basis for a successful season.

Overall, the start of the preparation shows that ASV Hamm-Westphalia is ready to face the challenges of the new season. Due to the new beginning and the comprehensive changes in the team and in the coaching staff, exciting times for the fans and the entire handball community could be imminent.
