In this episode, Rupert talks to Simon Mundie. They discuss the philosophy of sport, touching on how and why peak sporting performance is characterised by the loss of the separate self, why identifying personally with sporting excellence often leads to an outsized ego, and why Roger Federer is an artist in the truest sense of the word.

 

Simon Mundie is the host of the podcast Don't Tell Me The Score, which uses sport to explore life's bigger questions. This podcast can be listened to via the link below.
