262: Matthew Mitcham (Part B)

When Matt stepped up for his final dive in the Beijing Olympics from the 10 metre platform, he'd already lived it a thousand times in his mind. What followed was Olympic history, but as Mitcham shares, that gold medal has many layers to it. This Australian legend opens up on the journey behind the moment, from a childhood (and diving career) shaped by chance, to the highs of global success and the challenges that followed. It's honest, vulnerable, and at times confronting. A story of determination, resilience, and what it truly takes to reach, and navigate, the top. Matty is an absolute beauty.
