In January 2024, a group of students from the German Armed Forces approached us with a request for an interview. Their mission: to explore the limits of performance in sport and to critically examine the often harsh conditions under which athletes train. Their project, which is part of the Management and Media module, sheds light on the extreme demands of sport and the ethical issues it raises.
Using an innovative multimedia approach, they are investigating how support systems can help to manage these high expectations. Their goal: to initiate a broad discussion about fair and healthy performance standards in Germany.
They were curious about our vision and asked many questions about our approach. Our answer is a holistic approach that focuses on both the physical and mental health of athletes. It’s about creating a network of support, education and training that enables athletes not only to thrive, but to excel in both worlds – sport and academia. Through flexible learning models, psychological support and space for regeneration, we create a foundation on which young talent can grow and develop to their full potential.
