Help from a hero!

Ask me who my hero was when I was little (was I ever?)...I mean when I was young and  I have to think very deeply. The last two weeks brought me back to those days and it refreshed my memory.
I was in search of a way to help Ronald ( http://www.ronald-hertog.nl/ )  reach his ultimate goal in 2012.

I though of a clinic with someone who would be an inspiration for him.


In the Eighties we would look for foto-series in magazines like: the German 'leichtathletik' or the Dutch: 'atletiekwereld'.  Nowadays.. google and you'll find.


And so I stumble online on a hero from my youth. I remember him throwing 96,20mtr. My first training after this throw I remember very well. We (my training-buddy and me) didn't speak much. We were speechless.

So now I thought.... why not send an e-mail to FERENC PARAGI and ask for a trainingsession ?
To cut a long story short: Now, two weeks, a few e-mails and some research I think, later we've booked our tickets for a few days Budapest in July.
We are very excited ! and this could well be the start of an longterm coorporation.
I look forward to discuss the technique with Ferenc. I expect to learn a lot. But more important: I hope Ronald will get inspired so it will help him TRAIN HIS ASS OFF.

My first blog in English. The first of maybe many.
A report from our first sessions with Ferenc will follow undoubtedly... a month from now.
