In 2014, André Schurrle won the World Cup with Germany scoring 3 goals, and assisting the winning goal in the final

Just 9 years later, he has retired from football at 29 years-old. Since then he found a new direction in his life; the 𝗪𝗶𝗺 𝗛𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱, one of the most difficult endurance challenges in the world.

He climbed up the Sniezka Mountains, the highest point in the Czech Republic (1630m above sea level), with no T-shirt and just shorts on.

🗣️ Schürrle: “The last minutes I couldn’t feel anything and I had to find something deep inside me to keep going. An experience I will never forget! -19 degrees, 100 km/h wind in our faces, heavy snow and rain. What I learned… my body and I are stronger than I thought if I put my mind and soul into it I can do it all.”
