The Peak Performer Foundation fosters the next generation of top performers. In the Peak Performer Kids Camps, the participating children and adolescents experience the joy of performing – with games, fun, and real role models. As Managing Director of the Foundation, Christopher Spall was right in the middle of it when 50 and 100 children and adolescents got into the action with great zeal in Kitzingen (Lower Franconia) and in Brannenburg (Upper Bavaria). With a huge smile, we look back on two events that enriched the lives of everyone involved.

“In our Kids Camps, we want to allow children to discover their own talents and to grow from within. We want the kids to experience the joy of doing something under their own steam and to make a difference in life.”

Participation in the Peak Performer Kids Camps is free. In the camps, children playfully learn the basic values needed to achieve peak performances – from role models who authentically embody those values. And on top of that, there’s always the aspect of mental fitness: The so-called Skillcourt combines brawn with brains. Kids can prove their powers of concentration and quick reactions.

Kids Camp Unterfranken

The first Kids Camp took place on June 14 and 15, 2022 in Kitzingen. Five stations were set up where participants stepped up to a wide range of sporting challenges that could only be overcome as a group.

Among the camp counsellors were Alex King, Steve Hutchinson and Kreso Loncar, stars of Federal League ball club s.Oliver Baskets, who coached the kids in basketball, the focus of the Kids Camp Unterfranken at the itWheels Arena.

Olympic medallist Matthias Steiner made an impressive contribution: He appeared before the participants in a fat suit. The former weightlifter engaged in a lively and vivid discussion with the inquisitive children and teens about healthy nutrition, and gave them lots of practical tips.

Lars and Sven Bender, both former national football league players, also took part in the camp. As members of the Peak Performer Foundation, they also coached the kids in sporting activities, including, naturally, football.

In casual group sessions with titles like “Frag den Bender” (Ask Bender) or “Frag die Basketballer” (Ask the Basketballers), the kids had a chance to ask questions and find out what they always wanted to know.

But competition is also an important part of the Peak Performer DNA, so the second day was spent in a team challenge. The beaming winning team won tickets to a Federal League game of the s.Oliver Baskets in Würzburg.

Peak Performer Kids Lower Franconia 2022

“I’m simply happy. A great event with really great people. Seeing the kids laugh is the best part for me.”

Kids Camp Upper Bavaria

The second Kids Camp on 23 and 24 July 2022 in Brannenburg was all about football. Apart from the Bender twins, other stars like Magdalena Neuner and Tobi Angerer were there.

One of the highlights of the event was the “Olympiad”: Everyone had a great time competing in different disciplines like cow bell shooting and summer biathlon. And it wasn’t only technique that counted. Success factors like believing in yourself or staying focused at the crucial moment were just as important. Qualities that can be very valuable not only in sports but in all other areas of life as well.

In the final football tournament, ten teams competed for the win – coached by their great role models. During the awards ceremony, all kids received a certificate, a commemorative photo, a ball and a medal.
