I consider myself a visionary. I stay true to my visions until they materialize in real life.

On my way to becoming a Coach, one of the most profound mile stones was a book titeld “Ewig jung durch Bewegung” (approx. “Move and Stay Young Forever”). I wrote this book together with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the journalists Werner Kopacka and Christian Jauschowetz back in 1995.

The chance of writing a book together with Arnold Schwarzenegger and my two friends was only a vision at first. While visiting Australia together with the late Austrian tennis player Horst Skoff (then a ATP top-20 player) to prepare Horst for the Australian Open we were watching the movie “Twins” (with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in the leading roles) during a lunch break. “Twins” is a movie about two twins (Schwarzenegger and DeVito) who try to find their lost mother. The reason why the character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger believed that they would eventually succeed in finding their mother was clear. “I have it in my brain.” This sentence completely changed my life. Now I too had a vision – to write a book with the “Terminator” himself, back then the most successful actor in Hollywood,

adviser to the President of the United States as well as the best bodybuilder ever. I wanted to write a book about fitness together with him.

On my way to reach my dream I was able to put everything into practice which I learned on a personal basis and observed in my work as a coach up until then. Through many so-called "coincidences" I met the main advisor of Arnold at the world fitness congress at the bar of the hotel I was staying at. This man opened the doors to my dream. In addition, I met many wonderful people whose friendship I am still enjoying.

I sincerely thank Mr. Fredi Gerstl (president of the Austrian Federal Assembly) as well as John Cates, PhD, Werner Kopacka and Christian Jauschowetz.
