Peter Irish Interview–Footbag Brasil

Footbag Brazil has recently published an interview with Peter Irish.

Some inspirational words from the Zen Master:

Nowadays I am interested in developing my body and mind to peak conditioning so that I can help people and express myself creatively the best I can regardless of the medium. My friend, world juggling champion Dan Holzman, calls this the “Renaissance man training program”, and I think that describes it well. My main interest in life is human potential: how far can human beings develop and how can I break through limitations that I have placed on myself and that have been ingrained in me through society’s conditioning. It is a hard, but worthwhile interest.

I also loved that he said this:

… stay free and fluid whenever possible. One limit that I put on myself, though, is to never self-serve in a footbag circle. This was how it was in the beginning and I will continue the tradition as long as I play. It’s not the most popular view these days, and people can do what they want. I’m not telling anyone how to play. That’s just my personal standard.

Peter goes through some great history and gives a good peak into what a good person he is in this interview. I highly recommend that you go and read the whole thing right now.

Thanks Peter!
