Johan Hausen - 1982
Why I Wanted to Interview Johan
For most people an intense 2 hour gymnastic training session would usually be followed by a period of rest. This apparently doesn't apply to Johan who usually follows such a session with more training! Not just any training either, but an intense session of striking trees to condition his forearms. I was interested in exploring what motivates someone to want to do this. I also wanted to know what needs to be put in place to be able to do it, as such activities are surely as demanding on the mind as they are on the body. It is this motivation and drive that I wanted to explore with Johan during our interview. Sporting Achievements & Accomplishments
