Handball sensation: Julius Kopmann is the youngest athlete of the year!

Achim, Deutschland - Julius Kopmann, a talented handball player at SG Achim/Baden, was elected handball player of the year in the Verden district. This honor, which was presented to him by sports editor Kai Caspers, not only emphasizes his individual achievements, but also his impressive career, which is already with significant success at the age of only 18. In addition to the award, Kopmann celebrated two championships this season: one with SG Achim/Baden and one with the A-youth of HSG Verden-Aller.

The challenge of the training did not shy away from Kopmann. He trained four times a week, often in double layers on a few days. Fortunately, he stayed away for major injuries, which made it possible for him to regenerate quickly. The injury to his teammate Max Borchert opened up additional missions and thus more playing time. Kopmann is pleased that he can continue to play for SG Achim/Baden and plans to work more and more in the back in the coming season. The coach Florian Schacht praised Kopmann's development, but found that the award could possibly be a little too early.

reinforcement for the coming season

The SG Achim/Baden can look forward to the fact that both Julius Kopmann and Max Borchert will remain in the squad in the coming season. Team manager Cord Katz announced that both left -handed people have extended. Borchert, who is currently curing a knee injury, has also extended for two years. In the previous season, Borchert scored an impressive 69 goals in 15 games, but celebrated an unfortunate time after his injury.

Katz emphasizes Borchert's positive development, while at the same time putting great hopes in Kopmann, whose potential is far from exhausted. This season Kopmann was able to score 67 goals in a total of 21 games and is increasingly establishing itself as a valuable supplier on the right outer track. Katz even considers retraining from Kopmann to the right back player, which could increase the flexibility of the team.
