Coach Hike Kemler-Westball: “Great,” “smart”

Happiness was good on the Suns as well. There NDR MV LIVE reached coach Aves at HGS, Hike Kemmler-Westphal, who oversaw young HSG young athletes at the U10 and U12 state championships. The ten- and twelve-year-olds were the most successful at the Sunids and took first, second and third place. “We followed it directly on our mobile phones – with our little competitors and their parents. It was very emotional – a wonderful thing.” Kemler-Westball describes Avey as a “very ambitious athlete” who “likes more than just doing a training session too little.”
