Team Sharkbait

…is a thing I keep in mind all the time. The “Sharkbait”-way has always been different and throughout time we’re trying to open up our view on the approach to freediving to the outside world.

I know that trying to be different and proving it whilst doing so is quite the bumpy road, as the difference triggers a certain expectancy from the opposer. That’s where I get my drive to show there is a different approach to things.

I originate as a soccer player, always working hard and trying to make my effort for the team in a way they get energized to play better. Making the step to freediving at the end of 2003, was refreshing and challenging. Over the first years I got a kick out of a good training, trying to improve, perform and rise to the edge. The major difference for me was that I now had a challenge within myself, where my mind proves to be an unexplored area.

Me being a disbeliever in the start, where I believed 5 minutes was the limit for me…Jorg has been there to support me with the same way of thinking. Stimulating me in a pursuit of showing a different approach to freedive training and rising above myself.

I know I’m on a distinguished path, proving it by approaching the freedive-world differently and showing respectable performances. I’m not in an urge to convince the world our way is better, merely showing there IS a different approach to freedive training & performance!
