WSV Glonn: The ski department wants to become more professional with the help of sponsors and is planning social housing.

Glonn

- In the pandemic summer of 2020, there was time for idealism in the "Alpine Skiing" department of WSV Glonn.

In several small groups, an attempt was made to bring together the guiding principles, expectations and ideas to answer the sporting and socio-cultural identity question: what do we want to stand for as a division and winter sports club in Glonn?

The result of these fundamental debates was recorded in a seven-point action plan and named "Vision 2025".

Two and a half years later, the driving forces behind this vision take stock on a cold winter evening in the premises of the WSV-Sportwelt.

The fact that the eight long-standing WSV members, who sit together at two large wooden tables with the Ebersberger Zeitung, not only cares about club life, but above all its perspective and future viability, is already clear in the first dialogues.

We want to look ahead to see how big the gap is to the leaders and reduce it.

Reiner Prechtl, WSV Alpine Skiing Department Manager

"Skiing has become immensely professional in recent years in the youth sector," emphasizes Reiner Prechtl.

As head of the Alpine division, he had been itching his fingers for many years.

As a member of the Munich Ski Association (SVM), the young skiers from Glonn took a strong third place in the association's series behind the two big clubs SC Starnberg and WSV Munich.

We now want to consolidate this rank permanently.

"We want to look ahead to see how big the gap to the leaders is and reduce it," says Prechtl, but the WSV cannot avoid making the sport more professional.

For example, by training full-time trainers.

However, one had to realize time and again that a sustainable, successful approach to performance orientation required certain infrastructures, which first had to be set up in the market town with a good 5,000 inhabitants.

Always emphasizing that the WSV's mass sports offer will continue, "but we have to approach external trainers for a clear performance orientation," says Prechtl.

His credo: "Individual talent only brings success as part of a social club life."

Thanks to Lea Schindler's DSV joint studies, WSV Glonn becomes a training company for professional ski trainers

For young, motivated trainer talents like the former active ski racer Lea Schindler, the only essential question has been: How many kilometers am I willing to invest for it myself?

"Well, I'm currently commuting here three times a week from Munich in my grandmother's old car," explains the 21-year-old biology student, who has so far scoured the real estate market in Glonn and the surrounding area for available and, above all, reasonably affordable housing options without success.

Nevertheless, she didn't think twice when Reiner Prechtl and club chairman Sepp Axenböck offered her an employment contract as part of a joint study program with the German Ski Association (DSV) last summer.

For Schindler, this three-and-a-half-year dual bachelor's degree course includes all license degrees in competitive sports - and actually makes WSV Glonn a training company for professional ski trainers.

A core goal of “Vision 2025” of employing a full-time trainer has thus already been achieved.

A Glonner who puts Glonner young talents and trainers on the road to success with passion and professional competence.

This is exactly how the three entrepreneurs, Rudi and Christoph Schwaiger (Hans Brunner) and Franz Kellner (Obermaier Moden), who are long-standing sponsors (and of course WSV members) also sit at the table, imagine it.

"For more than 20 years, I've been talking to Sepp again and again about the fact that in our society we generally have to offer and promote much more for children's and youth sports," says Franz Kellner, outlining his "personal drive."

We want to break this cycle of not making things possible now.

The Glonner family man and entrepreneur illustrates his dissatisfaction with how neglected important (construction) projects for the promotion of young athletes are often treated with regard to the ongoing topic of building halls in Glonn.

For a number of years, this urgently needed training room has been put on the back burner for a variety of reasons.

"For me it's a cycle: new hall, coach and financial possibilities.

And in our small sphere of activity, as two entrepreneurial families from Glonn with the necessary financial resources, we now want to break this circle of making things impossible.” Nods of approval all around.

WSV boss Sepp Axenböck and Reiner Prechtl have long agreed that "we need the support of local companies" if we want to transform "Vision 2025" into an even more concrete "Project 2025".

In the long term, the sponsoring team intends to build affordable/subsidized living space for trainers, athletes or Glonner in general on plots of land they have already purchased.

"We want to advance the sport and at the same time create added value for the community," says Christoph Schwaiger.

In other words: on the one hand taking the tradition of good Glonner skiers, whose best-known representatives have included the active WSV trainers Sylvester Neidhard and Maxi Pupp since 1974, to the next level.

And on the other hand, "in the Glonner idea of ​​a social building project, to give something back to people who have done something for the place, like firefighters," says Franz Kellner.

He hopes that the financial commitment together with the Schwaigers will have "a signaling effect and motivation in the external image for other locations."
