sprünge (‚Kramer jumps‘) and the ‚Free Fall’ into the valley – that’s<br />
a unique pleasure not many skiing resorts can offer.<br />
L.L. ⁄ World Cup races and other big events take place in <strong>Garmisch</strong>-<br />
<strong>Partenkirchen</strong> regularly. Do races at home make you especially<br />
nervous?<br />
F.N. ⁄ Of course, at the beginning you tell yourself it’s like any other<br />
race. But that’s just a way of distracting oneself from the special task<br />
at hand. And of course the media make it clear that a race at home<br />
is focused on a lot more. And then, when you have old friends and<br />
acquaintances call out to you during the inspection of the slope, you<br />
know how much it means. Of course you still can’t let yourself get<br />
distracted; you have to focus on your performance alone.<br />
L.L. ⁄ What does your summer training program look like?<br />
F.N. ⁄ Alpine racing means traveling. Even as a child and student one<br />
always has to ‘follow’ the snow. We train all through the year which<br />
means that we have to look for places where we can train on the snow<br />
all over the world. That’s a lot of travelling and very time consuming.<br />
Especially for newcomers who still go to school the problem<br />
of combining sports and school is extremely challenging. You can<br />
say that as an alpine ski racer one has to train all year through in<br />
order to be able to keep up. Shortly after the long World Cup season<br />
we already have material tests. After a short break of 1 – 2 weeks<br />
the fitness units start again. Ski sports is very complex, apart from<br />
stamina and strength training there also are coordinative challenges<br />
we have to meet and which we have to specially train for.<br />
L.L. ⁄ Keyword „Felix Neureuther Ski Academy“: What do your<br />
courses focus on?<br />
F.N. ⁄ It’s all about our special training content ‚Ski4Life‘, a holistic<br />
training program that does not just foster coordination of movement<br />
but also perception. This means that special coordinative exercises<br />
are introduced into the children’s training program. This kind of<br />
exercises is part of the fixed training program of every one of the<br />
more challenging types of sports by now. And depending on training<br />
goal and age we use it for kids, too. What’s natural for us is that the<br />
groups we practice in are very small because that’s the only way to<br />
learn fast.<br />
