This week on the Good Humans Podcast I’m joined by professional wakeboarder Thomas Herman, one of the most progressive riders the sport has ever seen.Thomas has been ranked as high as World No. 2 and made history as the first and only wakeboarder to land a triple flip behind a boat. It’s one of those moments that completely changed what people believed was possible in wakeboarding.In this conversation we dive into Thomas’s journey growing up in the US, how he got into wakeboarding, and the mindset it takes to keep pushing the limits of a sport where progression often means attempting tricks no one has ever landed before.We talk about the story behind the triple flip, the pressure of competing at the highest level, and how he manages fear when the consequences of mistakes can be huge.Thomas is someone who truly embodies progression, courage and dedication to his craft, and I loved hearing about the mindset that has allowed him to reach the very top of his sport.In this episode we cover: • Thomas’s journey into professional wakeboarding • What it took to become World No. 2 • The story behind landing the first ever triple flip behind a boat • The mental side of pushing limits in extreme sports • How he handles fear, pressure and progressionA powerful conversation about backing yourself, pushing boundaries and chasing what’s possible.Follow ThomasINSTAGRAM-1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokLinked InThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.
