Sébastien Foucan is the founder and creator of freerunning and an ambassador for the discipline in many countries across the globe. His story and philosophy of freerunning conveys some important messages including how to master fear as explored in this speech for TEDxEaling.
Sebastien quite literally finds a creative path through a landscape of obstacles working with fear and contemplating challenge and difficulty in an innovative way. He believes that understanding freerunning and how and why he jumps, can help people think about their own attitude to choices, boundaries, difficulties and seemingly insurmountable ‘walls’ in their own life, work culture and environment.
