Show Notes

Olympic gold medallist diver Tom Daley on his return to the sport after two years out, looking ahead to his fifth Olympic Games in Paris this summer, how his adorable six-year-old son behaves like a ‘pushy parent’ during competition, and finding a balance between regimented training and enjoying himself.

Tom also gets into his passion for knitting, learning journalism for his podcast Made With Love, life in Los Angeles, and the ideas and inspiration behind his brand new children’s book Jack Splash.

The pair also touch on aspects of ageing, body image, the power of manifestation, self-belief and perspective; and reflect on how a loving family takes the pressure off and allows you to perform at your best.
