When a healthy rivalry and friendship are intertwined

The fact that climbers are a role model for real friends, although competitors in the wall have been proven many times and surprised even the international public with an exceptional attitude towards each other. We only remember the qualifications of Mie Krampl and the Rakovec lights for the Tokyo Olympics. Sports commentators at the time emphasized that it was « a heart -rooting and inspiring showdown between friends and equal competitors who were honestly hugged after the end ». The contestants were even confirmed by the competitors with the tattooed butterfly, which both have on the left hands. ““ “We said we wanted to have something that reminds us of each other and our common growth« Says Mia.

And he adds that the team competition is a positive value: “We need to be bold and challenge our abilities. We want to get to our limit, to be better every time. ”Their goals are high and real, as the national team goes, is clear national team coach Luka Fonda. ““ “As a result, expectations are also high. But without them, in ten years, not all that is: a package of all matches, a whole team … this success and growth would not be,« He is convinced.

Fonda emphasizes how important his self -awareness and self -criticism are, his own goals and motivation to climb his best. Of course, with the contestant, the whole team is. He is breathtaken by teammates and coaches – they are constantly watching his movement.

Everyone is aware of the importance of a healthy team spirit. Although they are opponents in the match, there is a lot of laughter, sincere encouragement and mutual trust in training. Boys and girls are friends – with a capital letter. They work on the famous Japanese principle, which says that you reach the goal faster you come alone, you get the right team longer. With a good support team, you reach the top and you can go to a new, even higher.

There are many things going on around every match. Each match is a journey for itself. Behind the wheel are exchanged by coaches who become drivers for a while. Most importantly, the journey is safe, reliable and that they bring to their destination in time. ““ “Someone connects to the headphones, others prefer to talk during the journey, «  team dynamics in Toyota Proace described by selector Gorazd Hren.
