TV Brettorf in a descent: Ahlhorner SV celebrates the first win of the season!

Ahlhorn, Deutschland - In the first Bundesliga north of the fistball, TV Brettorf is in a deep crisis. After a disappointing weekend, which ended with two further defeats against SV Moslesfehn (2: 5) and VfL Kellinghusen (1: 5), the team now occupies the last place in the table. Trainer Klaus Tabke critically commented on the lack of powerfulness of his attackers and the uncertainty in the defense, which obviously contributed to the current performance crisis.

Especially in the game against Moslesfehn it was shown that Brettorf was unable to keep control of the game despite a promising start in the first set. The team came under pressure and the substitution of the stricken player Hauke ​​Spille could not provide a turn. In the same sports week, on the other hand, the Ahlhorner SV had its first win of the season and thus handed over the red lantern. With a 5-2 victory over VfL Kellinghusen, they presented themselves in strong form, especially in the first four sentences.

Ahlhorner SV and the challenge for the league

While Ahlhorner SV should win through his first victory in self -confidence, the situation for TV Brettorf remains tense. The league leadership is now shaped by the new game modes, in which nine teams compete in the first Bundesliga North. After a simple game round, the top six teams come to the playoffs, while the lower three teams have to play for relegation in the playdowns. This structure has changed the competitive conditions in the fistball and puts all teams under increased pressure to collect the necessary points.

The challenges are also gripping for the Ahlhorner SV, who have returned to the first Bundesliga after one year and under coach Thomas Neuefeind have clearly defined their goal.

lack of support in sports psychology

The situation in German sport also requires a critical view of the mental strength of the athletes. Matthias Sammer recently expressed in a podcast that German football is in a deep crisis just a year before the European home championship. Sports psychology is often pushed to the edge and there is a lack of proactive approaches to address “soft” factors such as mental health and team dynamics. Only 10% of the clubs in the first three leagues have access to a sports psychologist who often only works part -time.

dr. Hans-Dieter Hermann calls for a paradigm shift in sports psychological care in order to offer athletes extensive support that can take their mental, emotional and social development into account. It also becomes clear that the path to a standardization integration of sports psychology in professional associations and associations becomes all the more important, especially in times of increased performance requirements.

This could also make a difference for teams such as TV Brettorf who are currently fighting, finding their performance and securing class membership. It remains to be seen whether the return to a stronger mentality and support from sports psychological means can ultimately make the decisive difference.
