Von Kl Redaktion

The transition from young talents to higher leagues is a central topic in German football. A current example is the change from Kevin Founes, an outstanding young player of SSV Reutlingen, to the reserve of SC Freiburg. This step illustrates not only the promotion of talents, but also the challenges associated with such changes.

A look at Kevins away

Kevin Founes moved to the U11 of SSV Reutlingen in December 2014 and has since developed into an important player in the team. His commitment and skills have brought him a central role in the Hampart, especially in the second half of the 2022/2023 season. "Kevin has developed excellently and is now taking the next step towards professional football," said Christian Grießer, the club's coach. This change reflects the pressure that many young players are exposed to in their pursuit of a professional career.

The human aspect

"The time at SSV shaped me humanly", Founes describes his time at the club. This statement shows how important personal development is for young athletes. In addition to sporting successes, the human experiences you gain in your youth are crucial. The support he received from coaches, employees and fans is often overlooked, but is essential for the well -being of a player.

a technical term: training association

The term "training association" describes a club that focuses on the development of young talents. In the case of SSV Reutlingen it becomes clear that the club is proud to train players like Founes and to transfer them to the higher leagues. According to Grießer, it is part of the “DNA” of the association to pass on talents for suitable offers, which also benefits the entire club. This principle is crucial to secure youth promotion in German football.

emotional farewell words

The emotional farewell to Founes shows the close connection between player and club. "I would like to thank my trainers and teammates," said future SC Freiburg players. Such words of thanks illustrate the importance of support and team spirit that played a role during the entire development of the player.

A look into the future

Christian Grießer concluded with the words: "We are convinced that we can compensate for Kevin's departure with our team this year." This opens up a view of future talents that could follow the SSV Reutlingen in the footsteps of Founes. It remains to be hoped that the mills of talent promotion will continue to work tirelessly and that many other young players will get the chance to prove themselves in higher leagues.
