The weather is a little better. better means, that you can train. It is still raining in between and when the wind is up it is also bitterly cold. But we can do it, for which we are meeting here: Football!

The first training session of the day takes Coach “babies” Melzer. He has developed an extensive program, to test the players for special teams. While the kicker, Punter, go down Long snapper and Returner to the square, I may I film the test kickoff and Kickoffreturn. May, because the camera is in the warm dining room of this, slowly turn into a mud desert during the girls on the field before me. In five rows side by side they run over and over again the field down. With an increasing number of girls is changing the white and red jerseys slowly into a uniform brown. Later we will see, that there are many shades of brown, depending on how old the stains are.

The following team training is of course filmed. When InsideRun offense succeed some big plays. Later in the scrimmage, the Defense has again ahead.

standards Lueck, our video man, the cameras collected immediately after training. Now the hot phase begins for him. All videos are transferred to his laptop and stored each move individually. This will take the longest in the entire process. We to record the Indies all drills on. The scrimmage will be even partially filmed with three cameras. If standards has everything on his laptop, then he takes him out to dinner and the coaches get the way the videos on their hard drives copied. Thanks to modern technology every coach is all the video promptly on his laptop available. A great thing, especially if you are the one with the situation 10 to 15 years compares. At that time there was only VHS Video. Copying took forever and when playing the comfort was not very. Instead of VHS and television, you now have computers and projectors.

In the afternoon we are back on the square. There are now only a few corners, that we haven't plowed over yet. The player slides out more often. The first injuries also occurred. Our two physios Meike and Steffen have their hands full with taping and treating minor injuries, but now our team doctor Dr. Marco Ezechieli to do. The space conditions are partly to blame, some of them are injuries, that can happen in football. All injured from here get well soon and the wish that they will be well soon.

In the afternoon we have the press again. This time it is the Neue Westfälische, that we can welcome. Suse Erdmann is wanted as an interview partner, who presented itself in good shape in the training camp and dances through the opponents several times in the afternoon as if they were slalom poles.

In the evening, in addition to the video and theory units, all defense players will have a one-to-one talk on the program. Defense Coordinator Daniel Koch and his coaches talk to each player in their group. They show you up, where they are currently in the ranking, what is expected of them on the last day of training, where their strengths and where their weaknesses are. So every player knows the starting situation for the last day. The measure, which is rather unusual in football, is well received by the players.

In the evening everyone sinks into bed tired. The night is short, not least because the time change steals an additional hour from us. Rumor has it that a coach fell asleep in his room while preparing for the next day over work…

Coach Trabi ist ein Phänomen. Mit bürgerlichen Namen Robert Melzer ist er in der Nationalmannschaft zuständig für die Wide Receiver und die Special Teams.

Der Zeitplan im Trainingscamp ist voll. Absolut voll. Coaches und Spielerinnen haben nur sehr wenige freie Minuten, um mal etwas durch zu schnaufen. 15 Minuten zwischen Abendessen und Theorie-Sitzung sind da schon viel. Alle arbeiten hart und viel. Coaches, Staff und Spielerinnen. Ab und zu muss man sich diese Pause auch mal nehmen. Und das machen auch alle. Nur Coach Trabi scheinbar nicht.

Er bringt zum Abendessen Laptop und Arbeitsmaterial mit . Bevor ich mit meinem Essen fertig bin, steht er schon wieder auf, verkündet mal schnell die Spielerinnen für die Special Teams. Ergeben sich durch die Veränderungen im Zeitplan mal 45 Minuten Leerlauf, setzt er schnell ein weiteres Special Team Meeting an. Jede Minute wird genutzt. Die Analyse von 90 Minuten Special Team Testing erledigt er nebenbei zwischen den Einheiten, Videoscouting und Theorie. Ein Phänomen dieser Mann. Er scheint nie müde zu sein, ist immer aktiv. Respekt. Seine Spielerinnen können sicher sein, dass er ständig für sie da ist und ihnen alle Informationen gibt, damit sie besser werden können. Das Video-Coaching am Samstag abend musste Leistungssportdirektorin Christiane Langkamm dann energisch abbrechen, damit die Spielerinnen auch noch genug Schlaf bekommen. Die Spielerinnen wissen das zu würdigen und ziehen voll mit. Als die Wide Receiver ein zusätzliches Training machen, kommen sogar die Defense Backs dazu und freiwillig machen mit.

Not in the mood for rain, still a bit frozen and back in the office with a slight cold.

I have a huge respect for the girls, who gave their best all weekend in the weather and fought hard for a place in the team. Most of them will be completely exhausted today.

We only had a very slow internet connection. My UMTS stick just made it 9600 Baud. I had that last 1990 with BTX (if anyone remembers it). The internet terminal in the youth hostel was faster, but not much either. And it didn't have a USB port, so the options were limited. Damage. That'll be better next time.

Reports and pictures will follow today…..

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.
