This is the second part of our conversation with Dr Richard Sille on "risk sports" and the search for authentic living. The focus is on what is often viewed as the most dangerous sporting event in the world: the Isle of Man TT. We hear about TT riders stories as communicated in research interviews and autobiographies and discuss retirement and injury as threats to these athletes' identities.
The conversation draws on the research article Experiences leading elite motorcycle road racers to participate at the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT): an existential perspective.
Dr Richard Sille holds a professional doctorate from Liverpool John Moores University. Currently, he works as a Sport & Performance Psychologist at the Isle of Man Sport and as a sessional lecturer at the University College Isle of Man.
