Featured on TV

Starting in 2010 The Koch kids can now be seen daily wakeboarding on the Disney Channel in Disney’s sports “shorts” called “Getcha Head In The Game”. Paulie Koch and his sisters, Tori, Gabriella and Moxie, were selected to be featured for the next five years in a Disney short film that showcases their Wakeboarding skills and training regimen. The Koch kids signed a contract allowing Disney to air the segment throughout the World.

Disney developed the sports series “Getcha Head In The Game” to search out young athletes and film them practicing and training to capture their passion for their individual sports. The concept behind the programming is that kids can inspire other kids to become active and try new sports. If all kids can “get their heads into a sport that they love”, then their skill level and physical fitness will follow. Paulie has been training with his sister Tori since he was 3 years old and both have achieved the highest levels of excellence in the sport of Wakeboarding. They are an inspiration to younger siblings, Gabriella and Moxie and now that Disney will be featuring them, millions more kids will see their training regimen and be exposed to the thrilling sport of Wakeboarding.
