Finding Meaning in Movement after Retirement from Elite Sport – Kriss Akabusi MBE (Pt2) – Meaningful Sport Series

This is the second part of our discussion with Kriss Akabusi, MBE, on Meaningful Sport. Kriss is an Olympian, Motivational Speaker and Businessman. In his outstanding athletic career, he achieved three Olympic medals, as well as World, European and Commonwealth titles.

In the first part of our discussion, Kriss shared some stories from his elite athletic career and boundary situations in that journey, and we discussed the tough world of elite sport. In this second part, we move to explore the meaning of sport in his life after the elite athletic career, and discuss the spiritual dimension of sport. We also explore existential philosophy, especially the works of Heidegger and Nietzsche, and how these thinkers have inspired Kriss and his way of thinking and living his life in and outside of sport.
