In October 2022, the staff of the Sport Psychology Unit spent three days at the TUM Research Station Friedrich N. Schwarz in the Berchtesgaden mountains. The retreat was used to present their own research projects and to create more synergies between colleagues in the future.
The main focus was on the idea of brainstorming about a research-related reorientation of the AG Sportpsychologie in the field of "Anxiety in sports" in order to advance new possibilities of cooperation between individual team members.
But team-building measures were not neglected either. As international as the team, as diverse was the cooking. After an elaborately prepared Chinese "hot pot" for the first dinner, a traditional Turkish breakfast was on the menu the next morning. The programme was rounded off by a hike to the Zinkenkogel in bright sunshine, as well as a live musical performance with the guitar.
All in all, the retreat was a complete success and we are now starting the winter semester with new motivation and impulses for future cooperation.
We would like to thank you for the warm hospitality at the research station and for allowing us to use the faculty bus!
