  • Summary

  • This conversation is with Assistant Professor in Sport Psychology at the University of Bern in Switzerland, Dr Noora Ronkainen. Noora’s work centres on meaningful experiences in sport, exercise and physical cultures.

    In this episode, we dive into the concept of existential learning. Noora defines the idea for us and shares some research highlighting how reflecting on setbacks in sport can lead to personal growth. We also discuss:

    • The current pressures on young athletes
    • The role of identity in sport;
    • How technology can shape future aspirations;
    • Gender differences in role models;
    • Why young athletes leave sports; and
    • The power of sport for learning about yourself, your values, and your relationships.
