Freestyle soccer expert Arnaud 'Séan' Garnier started out with dreams of becoming a full-time professional footballer, but he suffered a series of injuries early on in his career and decided to become a coach instead. After that he discovered a new passion that combined breaking and football: the urban art of freestyle football.
Garnier quickly found his groove, developing his own style and unique set of skills. Within two years, he went from demoing on the streets of Paris to the world stage, and in 2008 he was crowned World Champion at the first Red Bull Street Style World Finals in São Paulo, Brazil, the spiritual home of freestyle.
With a host of French Championships and podium finishes under his belt, Séan strives to develop the creativity of freestyle football, pushing boundaries together with his team, Street Style Society.
In post-competition years Garnier has displayed his skills at a variety of events around the world – taken on Neymar Jr in Neymar Jr's Five, appeared in a special one-off crossover basketball event with the NBA in the USA and even strutted his stuff at the Red Bull Air Race World Championship.
His style is about much more than just ball tricks. He’s combined music, breaking and basketball in his many winning routines.
