Short bio, few words that define you as an athlete and as a person:
My name is Tilemachos Tsarouchis, I am 21 years old and currently i am studying at the Technical University of Patras, in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, specializing in Aeronautical Engineering.
Throughout my life, I enjoy being active and that is what characterizes me as an athlete, my love to constantly deal with something that will fill me inside, will offer me knowledge and strong emotions, that is why I mainly deal with “extreme sports”, where you need to pay attention and think what you are doing, and the adrenaline is spiking.
Although these sports are individual, I am not a person who will deal on an individual level. Especially for some sports, such as Freeride Ski and Windsurfing, I always go with friends, not only for safety reasons, but you have a more enjoyable time, and you correct each other in various problems so that everyone becomes better. I am one of those people who like to push themselves to see their limits and go beyond them to an excessive level
When did you first start your discipline?
My father is responsible for most of them, as from a young age he pushed me to the main sports, he saw that I was interested, and I loved them – regardless of whether I complained many times – he taught me the basics and from there on I developed on my own. I got into skiing and windsurfing at the age of 7 and cycling a few years ago. As for the other sports, it is my curiosity and my love for sports that I grew up with. In many of them I started on my own or saw friends who were involved and helped me get started and then technology, such as the videos on You Tube, helped to get developed on some of them.
What do you most enjoy about your sport?
From a visual point of view, the beauty and the power of nature, whether it is a sunrise on the mountain or a sunset at the beach or a storm or an avalanche, are things you don’t see so often.
From an emotional point of view, there is the inner peace that the above offers you, but at the same time the intense adrenaline that flows in your veins is something indescribable. You just feel it and it fills you!
What are your hobbies, profession outside of your sport?
My hobbies are anything I could do close to nature. In other words, the sports I do are also the biggest interests for me.
In my professional field, in the winter season I work in catering shops and in the summer season in a windsurfing club in Vasiliki, Lefkada.
Who or what inspires you?
What inspires me is mainly my desire to be able to overcome the ceilings i set each time I do a sport, whether it involves the time, or a trick in a difficult spot or other factors. Many times, if I am with friends, there is also encouragement from thems, so this also plays a role.
Describe your perfect day:
The perfect day for me would be a trip with friends to combine mountain and sea in one day.
