Expert Knowledge for the Next GenerationOur Sponsorship of the Goalkeeper Academy by Mirko Kos

Original Räder is supporting the Goalkeeper Academy by Mirko Kos in Vienna for the second time – a partnership that is especially close to our hearts. Mirko Kos is a professional goalkeeper at FK Austria Wien and, alongside his Bundesliga career, runs a training location for the Goalkeeping.com Academy – the largest goalkeeper school in Europe. With a total of 1,000 euros and a banner, we are backing his dedication to young aspiring goalkeepers for the second time.

Pro Knowledge for Young Talent

The Goalkeeping.com Academy trains over 1,500 young goalkeepers per year across Europe. At the Vienna location, Mirko Kos works with children and young people aged 8 to 17 in small groups of up to four participants. This individual coaching allows for targeted work on each goalkeeper's strengths and weaknesses – something that often gets too little attention in conventional club training. An active Bundesliga professional sharing his knowledge this passionately is exactly what we want to support.

Why We're Back for a Second Time

At Original Räder, it matters to us to support projects that have a lasting impact and open real doors for young people. The Goalkeeper Academy gives young goalkeepers the chance to learn from a professional and develop their skills in a focused way. The fact that we're involved for the second time shows: this partnership works. While most of our sponsorship projects are based in Stralsund and Western Pomerania, our commitment in Vienna shows that projects beyond regional borders matter to us too – when they share the same values we do.

We are proud to support the Goalkeeper Academy by Mirko Kos for the second time. This is where the foundations for sporting careers are laid – and that is exactly what we care about.
