Walpertskirchen's coach is in his fifth year and is being coached
Walpertskirchen - If you want to defeat SV Walpertskirchen, you have to pass a Heilmeier.
This sentence has been valid since the 1970s, when Georg Heilmeier sen.
was still libero of the first.
Later he was involved in the board for a long time and at the same time watched how his sons got involved in the club.
Florian, the oldest played in the second division, was a referee and chairman and now coaches the AH.
George Jr.
was goalkeeper for the first team for 20 years, is now head of department and happy that his wife Martina runs the kiosk.
"And I've been on the soccer field since I could walk," says Sepp Heilmeier.
He is now 38 and it has been clear since this week that he will continue to coach the district league next season.
He then goes into his fifth season and will continue to be supported by his co Tom Geiger and the goalkeeping coaches Tomislav Saric and Stefan Hötscher.
Sebastian Schönberger is new to the coaching team.
The veteran will continue to be available as a player, but he should also take on some coaching functions.
Heilmeier thinks in particular of “individual technical training.
He's very technically adept himself." Heilmeier is also happy when he can take it easy a bit.
"I'm still on the council.
That takes time.”
Sounds like stepping back, but it's not.
Heilmeier seems more motivated than ever, even if he's a little understated.
“The first district league year went extremely well.
The second is always more difficult.
That's why the goal remains to establish yourself in the district league." He emphasizes how balanced the league is, but then lets it be known: "If everything goes well, you can also attack up front."
And whether the SVW can do that.
The newly promoted played a furious preliminary round, had a negative series due to many failures, but the perspective speaks for the club.
The squad - with 24 players very well equipped - stay together, says the coach.
Goal scorer Christian Käser has already announced that he will not accept any of the many offers from higher-class clubs.
Nevertheless, Heilmeier announces an upheaval – a gentle upheaval.
The older players are still important, he emphasizes, but the young wild ones are catching up.
Tired of office after five years?
On the contrary.
He quotes Freiburg coach Christian Streich: "After three years you have to change the coach or parts of the team." He is therefore already looking forward to the season after next with pleasure, in which a good dozen players from what is probably the best A-youth in the district will push the gentleman.
He would then like to accompany this process, says the coach: "I hope I can do that too."
But now he's looking forward to the coming season and hopes that none of his local rivals will be relegated.
After all, games against Kirchasch, Wörth or Lengdorf are always something very special.
He's already looking forward to June 26th, when preparations for the new season begin.
Then he will work on the players again, but also on himself: "I still have to learn to hand over responsibility so that I can focus on the important things." He also likes to watch the youth coaches and get suggestions Example in athletics.
A Heilmeier on the pitch, that will be the case for a long time.
"I'm grateful to my wife and children for supporting me like this," he says.
Oh yes, the next generation of Heilmeiers - things are looking bleak: neither his daughters nor his nieces and one nephew play football.
Heilmeier: "We'll probably have to skip a generation."
