Peter Irish interview

Post by the Executioner »

I was recently interviewed for the great website footbag brasil. The questions were very well done and allowed me to elaborate about the history of the sport, my career, and my personal philosophies on many different subjects. I am happy with how it came out. There is an english version on the site. Just go to the interview and click "english version" although there's more pictures in the spanish version.
Here's the link:

Any big East Coast-West Coast rivalries? We know about Biggie and Pac, but WHO DID YOU KILL!!! I've killed a lot of footbags...and I've killed the competition in tournaments...But no humans...yet! Haha, good interview though. I liked the part about competing against Eric Wulff, but I really would've liked to read more about competing at World Championships in general, or what it was like to win at Worlds. Did you get to meet any of the Brazilian Footgirls? Any word on them? :P

great interview! Good questions, great answers. A very interesting read indeed. I loved the first question: "Peter Irish, are you Irish?" :)

I second that.

People often get in contat with sports due to interviews with personalities . They got an impression how the mentioned sport affect the life of the very succesful person in the interview and then do some more research and maybe give it a try too. It is really sad that there are not more of them .

it´s very nice to know that people liked the interview. Peter: thank you so much for your help! by the way.. I want to post new interviews, so any help is welcome (specially about "questions", since its not very original to ask all the time "how did you learn to play")... so I would like to know what people really want to know... well, if anyone wants to help just write in the contact page

The interview gives a great picture of how young footbag actually is. In the 90's they were just putting tricks together???? And now we have 100+ contact guiltless runs!!! It's amazing how fast the sport has progressed, I can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years. 8O

Never met him, but Peter Irish sounds like an awesome guy.
