Maximilian black Huber is an athlete and a Coach. And the speakers, as he says of himself. For this year, he has done a Triathlon and a Marathon. He became known for a completely different reason.
Wolnzach – Maximilian-black, Huber look good. Color he got. The tan is not a miracle, he just got back from Venice – with the Bicycle. Five days he has used for 500 miles. A great performance, because of the 26-Year-old has no feet.
"We have done it in four days," says black and Huber, the call in his home Wolnzach (in the district of Pfaffenhofen/Ilm) only Maxi. "But I would like to do it soon, in 24 hours, with the road bike." After Venice. With pedals with a special bracket.
If black and Huber lectures, plays humour a key role. "Only if I can laugh at myself, laugh with the other with me and not about me," he says. And laughs. His life story is not actually amusing. As a two year old Boy he wants to get up after the NAP, but suddenly paralyzed in his legs. The complaints continue to rise the small body up and the heart and threaten to paralyze. Doctors to prevent the worst, but the numbness remains in the legs. And while the doctors break unsuccessful the heads, what could be the cause of that pushes the Boy is constantly the feet, occurs accidentally in nails, because he can't feel it, get wounds over wounds that heal tough. The Guillain-Barré syndrome is considered the most likely diagnosis, an acute inflammation of nerves. Where they originate, remains a mystery.
He stands on his own legs, since he lost his feet
such As black and Huber sits there and is told in the Lederhosen, the rights of the prosthesis casually over the left beaten, while his mother works in the house, sounds like a regrettable but minor Episode. "I'm going to climb the Teide," he says, to Spain's highest mountain, "and the steep descent, always makes time skip a beat. – my ankle was destroyed totally."
Always back in the hospital, again and again, injuries, therapies, the body groans under the compromised immune system. However, black and Huber travels to new Zealand, from Cycling the North island, 4000 km, for nine months it remains, and as he returns back to Germany, he is more broken than ever. Later, he is on a boat tour to pass out, only reluctantly to the hospital for delivery, the doctor says: A day later, and the legs had to be amputated. "And that's when I noticed That I minded anything."

In this Moment starts a thought process. Black and Huber speaks with people who have lost limbs, especially with amputee athletes. There are many small steps that bring him to the radical big step closer. The family is always at his side. One of the small steps, the grandma goes with the Maxi. As she looks at a day in the hospital, his battered feet, she says: "no longer Know what, it is harmful."
"Before the Operation I was in a mood like in the movie Green Mile," he recalls. The is of prisoners waiting for their execution. "But afterwards, when I woke up – the feeling was incredible." The parting of his legs, taught him something about life: "If you have to make a difficult decision, it is the Best, it sets early and in such a way that it is not reversible. To inaugurate as many people as possible. The relief about the decision then comes much earlier.“
Of black, Huber told in his lectures. He likes to: "Also because most do not have to experience my audience, what I have experienced." He tells it but with Reservation. "I tell everyone that I'm an absolute exceptional case. I had a lot of luck.“
lucky or not – something he amputated the other Leg anyway, advance has could: black and Huber, in contrast to accident victims, for a long time methods to develop, with the knees and hips more to compensate for what the feet have not contributed for years to the body's balance. In no time he was, according to the OP again – now partly artificial – legs, and went, as he had made to walk out of the hospital, grandma at his side. "When I came two weeks later in the rehab, thought the other patients first, I would be the therapist." 136 days after he was amputated in 2017, both lower legs, he creates a charity, the ten – kilometre race with two prostheses below the knees.
Maxi black Huber is a computer scientist. This helps him Organize his new life as a self-employed. As a man who stands on his own legs, after he left his feet. The subjects about which he speaks in his lectures, act of development of personality, of Motivation, of Overcoming the limits. "I don't want to tell, I want to exemplify," he says decisively. "My story can be everything to apply, because you have to have no physical Handicap." Who has also overcome a Trauma, he says: "It's worth it to slip into the victim role. When you blame others, you give them the Power.“
Currently, he writes a book with the working title: "Real men have no cold feet". A Podcast is in the planning stage. And he himself is already before the Start. 13. October he wants to run in the Marathon in Munich. With new running prostheses of the specialist companies Össur and Mödl he is hoping for a performance boost. The Marathon he wants to run under four hours. "In the long view of the world in mind for me but record for transtibial amputees." Still an hour faster. "A Madman," says Maxi black hubers mother. And he? Laughs.
