The Swiss Taekwondo National Team and its youth athletes have returned from an intense and inspiring week of training. In Maria Alm, Austria, over 120 athletes from five countries – Austria, Germany, Ukraine, Slovenia, and Switzerland – came together for a high-level training camp.
The sessions were led by the respective country’s team coaches: Gerhard Huber (Austria, also the camp’s organizer), Axel Müller and Alex Berghammer (Germany), Kristijan Kovacic (Slovenia), and Peer Steinkellner (Switzerland).
Athletes were divided into two training groups: Cadets & Juniors I, and Juniors II & Seniors. The energy and motivation were high – the camp not only challenged participants physically but also provided new technical and mental impulses. Especially valuable was the exchange with other athletes: training alongside peers from different countries raised the level of performance, fostered team spirit, and opened up new perspectives.
“The camp takes place annually and is a fantastic opportunity for our athletes to train with international top performers, learn new techniques, and prepare for upcoming competitions,” says Peer Steinkellner, head coach of the Swiss Kyorugi National Team.
