Show notes

Max tells us how he got into golf and why his college year in the USA was the deciding factor in his career. You'll soon find out that he gave everything early on to break into the professional league and what drives him to always give it his all.

We discuss his different definitions of success—one for the present and one for the future. In this interview, Max shares insights into how he deals with pressure and why he always learns a lot about himself in the process.

He talks about the many voices around him that were not always positive and encouraging, and how he managed not to let himself be discouraged by statements like “You are not good enough” and “You won’t be able to do it anyway,” and how he always kept his goal in mind.

How Max turned his hobby into his profession, how he draws strength from defeats and how much of his success is due to talent and hard training - he tells us this and much more in this interview.
