After ski-idol Hermann Maier's sensational season start, millions of viewers were glued to their screens. They all ask themselves: is one born to win? Or are winners "made"? This report answers the question by examining the practice methods of young Austrian ski talents, Hermann Maier's "children".

Over the course of multiple weeks, the documentary shows the daily live of up-and-coming talents in Schladming's and Stams' ski schools. Additionally, ski legends like Annemarie Moser-Pröll and Franz Klammer weigh in.
