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

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!

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’ Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
