Many hands - quick end

A look behind the scenes: Sports aptitude test at the IfSS of the UNI Kassel

The main work in the run-up to the test began many weeks before the test. Fabian Goldbeck, together with Prof. Dr. Hagemann, was busy organizing the test, finding helpers and providing catering for the day. No fewer than 36 volunteers looked after the potential first-year students throughout the day as team leaders and helped to set up and dismantle the hall. The student council catered for the physical well-being of all participants and the IfSS lecturers took the exams at the respective stations. This meant that well over 50 people were involved as helpers.

Fabian Goldbeck was very satisfied after the test: "It went really well again. Where there are many helpers, the load is spread over many shoulders and so we were able to finish very quickly. There was also a good atmosphere among all the helpers and participants, which made the day very pleasant, especially for the test candidates. I am proud that the IfSS was able to make a very good first impression on the applicants. After the test, however, he and Prof. Dr. Hagemann had to evaluate the applicants' routing slips. Not a big problem," says Hagemann, "because the sheets were kept properly by the squad leaders, our workload is now minimal.

After the tests had been completed and the hall dismantled, there was finally a cozy get-together where the many helpers could reflect on the day. I would like to thank all the volunteers and the students from the student council once again, because they did a great job," said Fabian Goldbeck. This thanks must also go to him, as he was responsible for the implementation of the aptitude test and everything went smoothly.

Finally, it was also pleasing that the weather played along: rain only set in towards the evening, so that the final Cooper test could also be completed under good conditions in the Auestadion.

Fabian Goldbeck is still looking for helpers for the final test on July 4. At least 70 applicants are expected again.
