(MENAFN) Previous FIFA World Cup winner Andre Schurrle went hiking in freezing mountains.
Many footballers who hung their boots from football choose the path of managing or administration but not the 32-year-old German.
Schurrle, after working out with Dutch motivational speaker and thrilling athlete Wim Hof – also known as "the Iceman" because of his power to handle low temperatures – looked to love snowy mountain air with just his shorts on.
"Day 3 of the Wim Hof experience and up the summit with our beautiful crew!! The hardest mental and physical thing I ever did!" as written by Schurrle on Monday from his official Instagram account.
Adding, " The last minutes, I couldn't feel anything and I had to find something deep inside me to keep going! An experience that 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 everything."
In spite of stopping professional football a bit early, at the age of 29 three years ago, Schurrle decided to push his body edges to different, even some may call dangerous, situations.
