As a personnel service provider, ZAG knows that success is only possible in a team. Trust, cohesion and a common goal are crucial - in professional life as well as in sport. It is precisely these values that ZAG shares with TuS Vinnhorst, a club steeped in tradition in the German handball league, which ZAG supports. ZAG actively supported<\/a>. We spoke to Mika S\u00e4fken, captain, former national gymnast and media interface of the club, about team spirit, challenges and the fascination of handball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the gym to the handball court<\/strong>
Mika S\u00e4fken has been part of TuS Vinnhorst since 2016. \u201eI started out in gymnastics as a competitive athlete and supported the club in the early years, especially in the national gymnastics league,\u201c he explains. Today, S\u00e4fken is active across all sports - including handball - and supports the club with his own media agency to increase media visibility. \u201eFor me, this is a real labour of love,\u201c says S\u00e4fken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handball as a dynamic team sport<\/strong>
\u201eHandball is incredibly fast - something is happening all the time,\u201c says S\u00e4fken, describing the fascination of the sport. Despite the intense physical contact, handball is very fair and offers enormous potential, especially in terms of media perception. He finds it impressive how individual energy can be channelled in a team to make the seemingly impossible possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories and milestones<\/strong>
Promotion to the 2nd division was a special moment for S\u00e4fken. \u201eI was able to witness the development both as an outsider and in the media. Promotion was a huge milestone for TuS.\u201c At the same time, he has followed the constant restructuring at the club, which is continuously advancing the sport and the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges behind the scenes<\/strong>
According to S\u00e4fken, the biggest challenges in the Bundesliga often lie behind the scenes: \u201eBehind the seven players on the pitch is a huge team of staff, organisation and volunteers. Keeping this large structure together and staying on the same wavelength organisationally is enormously demanding - and that is precisely where the art lies.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of sponsors<\/strong>
Sponsors like ZAG are indispensable for the club. \u201eThey make it possible to pursue this intensive and ambitious path - both in terms of sport and infrastructure. At TuS, we consciously try to actively involve sponsors so that they are not just supporters, but become part of the team - almost like family.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parallels between sport and the world of work<\/strong>
S\u00e4fken sees clear links between successful teamwork in sport and in professional life: \u201eIt's about bringing together different characters, strengths and objectives, promoting them individually and focussing on a common goal. Growing together is absolutely crucial.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A look into the future<\/strong>
For the future of handball at TuS Vinnhorst, S\u00e4fken hopes for maximum sporting success and, above all, good health. Structurally, he hopes for further reinforcement and the further development of the club's established structures. \u201eStanding still is not an option in sport - or in the club.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With ZAG at its side, TuS Vinnhorst remains on course for success - both on the pitch and in promoting the team and club structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
