S10 Ep2: Matty Lee on Preparing for the Olympics, the ‘higher power’ of flow state and powering through Grief

Monday Mile with Aimee Fuller

With only 6 months to go until the #ParisOlympics ,we thought it was only right to bring back a friend of the #MondayMile podcast – Olympic champion diver @mattydiver!
Matty is best known for winning gold alongside @tomdaley in the 10-metre synchronised diving event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. In this episode, we take a deep dive (no pun intended ) into the highs and lows of being a top athlete – from his training routine to his brutal injuries. We touch on the double whammy of going from the Olympics straight into I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and dealing with the blues that came after that surreal period.
He also shares the awful experience of losing his Dad suddenly, and how his diving team and coach helped him through that grief, spurring him to get back into training and look to the future.
It was great to have you back, Matty – wishing you all the best of luck for the summer!
