Perth Wildcats legend Trevor Torrance gives a unique insight into the world of an elite basketballer who has also had a successful business career, while discussing with raw emotion the lasting impact of being bullied as a young boy and not being able to come out as a gay man in the 80s and 90s when intolerance and prejudice was rife in our community and the world of sport.
Trevor, a 300+ game player in the NBL, talks about how basketball, with the support of a special mentor, became a safer environment for him in an often-brutal world. He describes how he rose above the torment inflicted by others to play at the highest level, then progressing to become a professional coach to some of Australia’s leading business executives.
