On the way to promotion in 2023, coach Michael Köllner is right for any means.

An executive coach is to teach the team in Windischgarsten mental tricks.

After a day off, the first in the preparation that started two weeks ago, it's getting serious again for Michael Köllner's lions who want to get promoted: Departure to the training camp, which last year's fourth place traditionally sets up in the mountains of Upper Austria, in the idyllically situated 2400-strong community of Windischgarsten .

The host is again Horst Dilly, who has been inviting the 40-strong Giesinger entourage to his hotel of the same name since 2019.

What awaits the lions in the Pyhrn-Priel tourism region?

Of course not a vacation like the accompanying fans – up to 150 – enjoy.

Köllner wants to work on the sporty fine-tuning, on the team spirit - but there is also variety in other areas.

team psychologist

What are the lions planning to do in Windischgarsten?

"It's not about organizing marathons," joked Köllner and announced a reduced number of strokes: "We won't go here and train twice a day, we have to work specifically on our game.

In the training camp you have the opportunity to respond to players individually, in small groups.” And, he reveals exclusively: The lions will once again make use of the professional services of a team psychologist for a long time.

Köllner speaks of "external" help: "It's purely an executive coach.

It's about promoting team building in a different way - not by running up the mountain and drinking a beer together at the top." His credo: "We have to come together as a group, be clear about

what goals we have and how we have to deal with each other during the season.

That will be the most important thing in the training camp.”

friendlies

Like every summer, the lions will play two friendlies during their six-day camp, the first immediately after arrival this Friday (5 p.m.), the second on the eve of the journey home, Wednesday, 6:30 p.m.

At SV Ried, a proven sparring partner takes on the role of the welcome opponent;

the former club of former Türkgücü coach Andreas Heraf finished the past first division season in 7th place and challenged Red Bull Salzburg in the final of the ÖFB Cup (0:3).

The Linzer ASK, opponents at the Windischgarsten-Kehraus, performed one position worse than Ried (8th place) and has an eventful history: 2012 forced relegation and almost bankruptcy, 2019 runner-up behind Salzburg - at least the first part of the recent history should be remembered by 1860 fans wake up.

Fun fact: Ried and Linz were also the last clubs of Oliver Glasner, 47,


New jersey

A great privilege for the 1860 fans who don't shy away from the 300 km to Windischgarsten: They will be the first (along with the team and employees) to see the jersey for the planned promotion season.

In the test match against Ried, the lions will appear in the new Nike outfit for the first time - the design has been guarded like a state secret for days.

Kit man Norbert "Steges" Stegmann, 72, is one of the few who have already seen the jersey;

his verdict on the sidelines of the Mathäser visit can be interpreted in any direction.

It looks “interesting”, says the man, who has seen, folded and loaded all kinds of lion jerseys into buses since he took up his post in 1996.
