Cologne's stars plunge into adventure: jumps from the 10-meter tower!
Wednesday was a very special day at 1. FC Köln's training camp in Bad Waltersdorf, Austria. After intensive training sessions, the professionals received a well-deserved day off, which was not only used for relaxation but also for team building activities. Coach Lukas Kwasniok insisted on jumping into the cool water with his players. “It’s the most wonderful time of the season,” he said, emphasizing the wonderful atmosphere in the camp. “I’ve never experienced a bad training camp.” The team spent the day in the outdoor pool in Fürstenfeld to relax and have fun, as Bild.de reports.
The swimming pool became the setting for a lively beach volleyball tournament. The players Florian Kainz and Jakub Kaminski, together with Luis Hauer and athletic trainer Tillmann Bockhorst, prevailed and won this fun competition. For some players, however, the day wasn't just filled with volleyball. A brave group, including coach Kwasniok and his assistant coach René Wagner, ventured into the water from the 10-meter tower. Such shared experiences strengthen team spirit and ensure an even stronger bond within the team, which is also underlined by Come-on-FC.com.
The next challenges
On Thursday things will get serious again for 1. FC Köln, as training in the Thermenstadion is on the agenda. On Friday evening we continue with a friendly against Leicester City, which kicks off at 5 p.m. in Graz. The preparatory games are an important stage before the new season starts and every point counts. After the physical challenges of the last few days, the players can safely concentrate on football again.
The day in the outdoor pool was not only an opportunity to relax, but also a valuable contribution to team dynamics, as Bild.de summarizes. 1. FC Köln seems to be prepared for the coming challenges, both in training and in test matches. It will be interesting to see what energy the team will start the new season with.
