Role model

Every sport needs ambassadors to grow big. Disc Golf is currently the fastest growing sport in Finland and in the whole Europe. Janne is a great example of analytical and hard working athlete who always has time to share his knowledge.

What people say about his strengths?

"Janne is: genuine, approachable, friendly, helpful, humble. A great relentless role model. Knowing his past with injuries, many would have stopped already but instead he is taking the game to next level. He is extremely analytical athlete in everything he does and has world-class competition nerves."

Support

Here is what one of Janne´s friends and supporters said when we asked the reason for supporting him: "Why do I help this guy? Why wouldn't I? He is the guy who was present when I needed help in my personal life, he is always there when I have questions about disc golf, he is always willing to share his knowledge! And of course because we love the sport. Good things goes further!" Feel free to contact info@hir5i.fi with any more idea to support the good guy on his route.
