We have been on the road since early in the morning. Coach Markus Grässer, Defense Line Coach, and who I played with ages ago, picked us up. Head north over the motorway. During a stopover in an American fast food restaurant, we meet the first players. The car from Nuremberg also takes a break here. When the sun is shining, we arrive in Silberhorn one hour before the meeting point. The first players, flown in via Paderborn Airport, are already waiting for us.

The hostel's father is very open-minded and first shows us the space. A nice reception. Car by car, more players are now arriving. You greet each other, After all, you have known each other for years even without a national team. “Hello, the hair a little shorter now?” I am amazed, some coaches quickly got used to the women's national team.

That the difference between women and men is smaller than you might think, you will feel it in the next few minutes. The tension increases. Everyone wants to show, what you can. The minutes before training are the same in every team. No matter if that gentlemen, Are teenagers or women. But first there is theory, only then you go to the field.

Meanwhile the sun is gone. The announced rain is coming. And it's gotten a lot colder, when the players enter the training ground for the first time. But it gets worse. At the inside run it starts to lightning and thunder. The moves suffer from the wet and cold and when the lightning gets thicker, remains only a logical step: cancellation. We prefer the theory unit from Saturday morning, so that the time is used sensibly. “Be flexible” Coach Trabi has already written in the special team playbook. Then let's stick to it.

The team leader, Competitive sports director Christiane Langkamm and manager Mariam Khamsi-Strauch, are traveling with the hostess father. You check the artificial turf pitch in Holzminden, which the host's father has reserved as a precaution. Thank god you have to say, because after the rain the water is on the square behind the youth hostel. After the snow has melted, the water does not flow away as quickly as usual, the hostel father explains to us.

Was lange währt wird endlich gut. Diese Woche geht es ins Trainingslager. Die Spannung steigt. Für die Spielerinnen wird es bestimmt noch schlimmer sein als für uns Staff. Gut dass es bald losgeht.

So langsam zeichnet sich auch ein Feedback im Pressebereich ab. Das Telefon klingelt jetzt häufiger und es hat schon mehrere Anfragen gegeben. Das Thema Frauen-Nationalmannschaft, American Football und Weltmeisterschaft klingt für viele interessant. Und das zurecht. Das beruhigt mich. Einge Projekte klingen sehr vielversprechend. Jetzt muss ich am Ball bleiben, dann kann das klappen mit der Pressearbeit.

Jetzt müssen wir nur noch die 45 Spielerinnen für Stockholm finden und diese besser kennen lernen. Besonders die Herkunft wird immer wieder gerne hinterfragt. Gesucht wir der Local Hero, die Frau aus unserer Region, die in Stockholm unser Land vertreten wird. Für mich heißt das in den nächsten Tagen: Informationen sammeln, Spielerinnen kennen lernen, die Zusammenarbeit koordinieren und Kontakte vermitteln. Viel Arbeit, denn ich kenne maximal die Hälfte aller aktuellen Spielerinnen.

Ab nächster Woche werde ich dann hoffentlich auch Verstärkung für diesen Blog bekommen. Jede Spielerin, die Spass am Schreiben hat, ist ab sofort gerne eingeladen, hier von ihren Erlebnissen zu berichten.

Hier zum Abschluss einige Ergebnisse als Link zum Thema Frauen-Nationalmannschaft in der Presse:

Vor den Besuch der Frauen-Nationalmannschaft in Silberborn wollten wir uns selber ein Bild machen. Also machte ich mich mit unser Team-Managerin Mariam Khamsi-Strauch auf den Weg nach Silberborn. Wer es bisher nicht kannte, das ist ein Ortsteil von Holzminden in Niedersachsen. Recht zentral in Deutschland gelegen.

Nachdem der Winter in der Nacht zuvor überraschend zurückgekehrt war, lagen dort fast zwanzig Zentimeter Neuschnee. Die zwei großen und zwei kleinen Sportplätze waren daher nur am Rand zu erkennen, doch der Leiter der Jugendherberge machte mit uns eine Führung durch das Haus und zeigte auch Räume die für das Lagern von Equipment oder für die Theorieeinheiten genutzt werden können. Besonders letztere werden intensiv genutzt werden, wollen wir die Zeit im Camp doch optimal nutzen.

Wenn das Wetter am Trainingswochenende nun besser wird, steht einem erfolgreichen Camp nichts
im Wege, die Herbergeseltern sind sehr bemüht unseren Bedürfnissen und Wünschen nachzukommen.

set up a press distribution's easy:

You just have a link to the registration deposit on the home page and wait. Interested parties come willingly.

Unfortunately it is not so easy. The link is here, only the journalists not. So I still have to make active press work. And that is not easy. Where can I get the addresses, as I speak to journalists, as we do to our attention? And if one has interest, what can we offer him?

The last question was the easiest. The new women's national team will have a lot to offer. After all, we have been gaming operations, decades of experience and with countries second Damenbundesliaga created a structure zukunftsträchige. In our squad are the different characters. Suse Erdmann, Ladies Bowl MVP, which led her team to the German championship with a stellar performance. Or Gaby Duvinage, the already longer Football plays the woman's Football in Germany exists and her team as a quarterback confidently led to the final. Manuela Scott is in the squad, whose husband and brother are both in the squad of the men's national team and it is active in passing in the cheerleading team. The list is long and until the World Cup we will have enough material, to continually provide interesting articles. This they will be on the Ladiesfootball.de Side can always read.

The second step is compile information. What do journalists? The squad is important, especially for local patriots. “Nine players from Nuremberg with it” the Frankish Press, while the Rhineland can look forward depending on your preference nine Düsseldorf or six Cologne. These little information about the World Cup 2010, a few offers on the interesting interlocutor in the national team and for imaging a photo of the Ladies Bowl. That should be enough.

And to whom you send the? There are so many media in Germany. Good to have friends, can support a. A known source for this purpose is the Zimpel, a database of journalists. So quickly create a distributor, via email series connect with a personal approach and send. Whereby the ship as it turned protracted than expected. So exercise patience. This is especially difficult.

One thing we have not forgotten: take the clubs on board. The clubs will ship yes to every match reports on their press distribution. These journalists are specially interested in information from the national team. so managed. Now it's wait and see. We hope, that we could win on this path many new contacts and can revive as the press work.

In the year 2010 there are many new things in AFVD. Long yearned for time, it suddenly went faster than expected. The AFVD has a women's team. And since not only the AFVD one has, but also five other regional associations, you can already 2010 play a World Cup in Sweden.

The earlier plans for a European Championship 2011 were overthrown and a team got down to work. The end of October, the first 78er squad named. In the background, an organizational team was off the ground.

I was to be allowed to include the honor to part with this team. For years, I accompany the women's football, times more intense, times more than spectators. My first AFVD football game as a spectator was meeting Bamberg Lady Bears against Frankfurt Gamblers. In the 90ties I was for a long time as a woman representative of the AFV Hessen road.

During this time, the website was launched www.ladiesfootball.de. Even before the AFVD its own website had, Women Football was already represented on the World Wide Web.

This pioneering role will take for the women's football back to claim. In recent years, players have heard their men- and national youth teams through a blog (or altdeutsch diary) gives an idea of ​​the national team. We want to combine these blogs by several players on one side and at home the fans and spectators have a focal point, To get an impression of the national team.

In addition to these impressions, we are parallel ladiesfootball.de operate a conventional press work. You'll find the match reports, Results, Press releases and statistics. Under www.sidelineview.de see the photos from the games.

You will be able to read on this blog, what the players felt, how they have prepared or reports on contact with teams. Maybe supplemented by short highlight videos, Photos from the training, Recovery phases, Accommodation and so on.

Via a Facebook link, you have the option of distributing each contribution and showing it to your friends, what interests you and what you like.

This is also new for the AFVD (limited) possibility, Leave comments. To do this, however, you have to register. Because it is a moderated site, all comments must be activated before publication.
