What it takes to become World Champion Handball Player Episode #139 Interview with Josef Gotsch

Born to be a champion

Meet Josef Gotsch, a World Champion handball player, born and raised in Bayside, Queens in New York City.  Josef started his athletic career at the early age of 4 years old.

Josef grew up in a loving, yet highly competitive and athletic family. His father was a professional skier and rugby player from Austria. His maternal grandfather was a professional bowler.

Why Handball and not one of the more traditional sports

Josef will also share why he chose to pursue a professional career playing handball instead of the other traditional sports.  Soccer, baseball, swimming, skiing, bowling, tennis, and basketball did not have the same appeal as handball.

Josef shares his exercise philosophy

Josef is a firm believer in the importance of practice which he does almost every day (weather permitting).  He also believes in not only being in excellent physical shape in order to compete but mentally strong as well.  Also during the interview, Josef will share his exercise philosophy, which involves stretching, good nutrition, and various other techniques.

Josef has become an Ambassador for the sport of handball and strongly believes that handball will soon become an Olympic sport. After interviewing this young man and feeling his passion for the sport of handball, I believe it too.
