Moderator: Let’s dive right in. The VSV hohenbostel judo⁢ team recently celebrated a ⁤remarkable milestone at‌ the german Judo⁢ federation’s (DJB) youth competition, the Judo Safari. Can‍ you⁣ tell us more​ about ⁣this event and what makes it so special?

Gerrit Rehberg: ⁤Absolutely. ⁣The⁢ Judo Safari is a unique⁣ competition designed for participants⁤ aged⁣ 14 and under. It challenges the children across three categories: physical​ fitness, technical judo skills,‌ and creativity. This year, we integrated the athletic ⁣component with the sports badge⁢ assessment, which has​ been a tradition since last year. The event not onyl tests their physical and ​technical abilities but also encourages‍ creativity, which is something we’re⁣ very‍ proud of.

Moderator: That sounds like a well-rounded approach to ‌youth development. The article mentions that the team achieved a‌ record-breaking 28 safari awards this year. How does this compare to previous years, and what does this achievement mean for ⁢the team? ⁤

Gerrit Rehberg: ⁣This year, we ⁤matched last year’s​ success ‍with the same number⁤ of children earning badges. however, what’s‌ truly remarkable ‍is that we’ve seen more patches sewn onto our judo suits ⁢than ever before. This ‌is a testament to the​ dedication⁤ and hard work of both​ the athletes and the coaching staff. It’s‌ incredibly rewarding to see ​their efforts recognized on such a prestigious platform.

Moderator: That’s fantastic! The article also ⁣highlights the creative portion⁢ of the Judo Safari, where participants decorated cups and dishes⁢ in a Christmas-themed crafting session. how vital is it to incorporate creativity into a sport like judo?

gerrit ⁣Rehberg: Creativity is frequently enough overlooked in ⁣sports, but it’s a crucial aspect of development, especially ⁢for ‌young athletes. ⁣The crafting‍ session not only allowed the children to express themselves but also added a festive touch to the competition.⁢ These hand-painted items served ​as cherished Christmas gifts, which ⁢made the experience even more ⁢meaningful ⁢for them.It’s ⁣about nurturing well-rounded ⁣individuals,not just athletes. ‍

Moderator: ​That’s a great viewpoint. Now, let’s talk about the Budo segment, where competitors ⁢engaged in thrilling‌ judo matches. How do you ⁢prepare your team for ⁣such intense head-to-head battles?

Gerrit ⁢Rehberg: Readiness is key. We ‍focus heavily on technical⁢ training,ensuring ‍that the children have a solid foundation in judo techniques.But it’s not just about physical preparation; mental resilience is equally important. We work‍ on ‌building their confidence and teaching them⁣ to‍ stay calm⁢ under pressure.⁢ It’s a combination of skill, strategy,​ and mindset that helps them excel​ in ​these matches.

Moderator: It’s clear that your⁤ coaching⁤ ideology goes beyond just winning medals. What advice ‌would you give to other coaches working ⁣with young athletes?⁣

Gerrit Rehberg: My advice would be to focus on the holistic development of the child.⁢ Celebrate their achievements, no⁢ matter how small,​ and⁤ create an environment where they feel supported and ⁣motivated. it’s not just​ about producing champions; it’s about shaping ​individuals​ who are confident, ⁤disciplined, ⁤and ‍passionate about what they do.
