In this episode of Collecting Scars, I’m joined by Max Henry—one of the most technical, thoughtful, and controlled athletes in parkour.
I’ve known Max for over ten years, but this conversation gave me a deeper look into his story, his mindset, and how he’s been able to train for nearly two decades with so much longevity. We talk about parkour, van life, parenthood, community, and the mentality that has shaped the way he moves through both training and life.
Max shares his goalless approach to parkour, why nothing ever truly needs to be done, and how removing pressure can lead to better training, stronger self-trust, and fewer injuries over time.
This episode is reflective, grounded, and full of perspective. Some of my best training sessions have been with Max and his wife Christine, and this conversation felt just as meaningful.
We also recorded a companion episode on Max’s podcast, The Takeoff Pod, which I’ll link below.
Thanks so much for listening. Let’s get into it. ✨
