Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew Mitcham

'It will never be erased. But it doesn't mean it will always be remembered' - Matthew Mitcham on his historic Olympic gold win. Matthew is the first openly gay man to win gold in Beijing 2008, cementing his status as an LGBT+ legend in sporting history. In his most candid interview yet, Matthew sits down with us and tells us about his struggles with addiction and his deep longing to 'feel special'. You'd think an Olympic gold would satisfy any man's desire for validation, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. Following Matthew's win he fell in to another depression and began using substances again, in what he describes as the infamous 'Olympic come down'. With endorsement deals non existent and Matthew's achievements seemingly forgotten by popular media, comparisons with other LGBT+ athletes began to creep in. Matthew exclusively shares the full story with 'All Out with Jon Dean' in this intimate interview with a sporting trailblazer, who will go down in history as the very first 'Gay Going for Gold'.Support the showFor clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

Olympic gold medalist Matthew Mitcham made history with his near-perfect dive, but his life was far from it. The champion athlete had a lonely childhood, battled depression from the age of 14, punished himself for having gay thoughts and escaped his feelings with drugs and alcohol. Fighting a crippling fear of failure, Matthew just wanted to be perfect. To be the best. And for a moment, he was. This is Matthew Mitcham like you've never heard him, “warts and all”.   Catch up on the latest from the 2024 Paris Olympics as it happens with our on the ground coverage at The Daily Telegraph.

Nigel's guest today is Matthew Mitcham, a true champion in the LGBTQIA world. Australian Matthew became the first openly gay athlete to win an Olympic Gold medal when he competed as a diver in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. But as he smiled with pride on the podium and became a role model to many Matthew had to also face the self-doubt and depression that had plagued him since childhood. His life has been one full of personal demons that he has had to deal with, including addiction and spells in rehab. Today Matthew, retired from sport, is a keen speaker, advocate and shining light in the worlds of diversity and inclusivity. He is also making a splash away from diving in the world of performance and theatre. His life may not be perfect 10s just yet, but he's getting there…This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And guaranteed, a Gay Old Time!Follow us on instagram @agayoldtimepodcast Produced by Pineapple Audio Production Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Boxing has always been about belonging for Australian boxer Harry Garside.  He was the skinny little kid desperate to impress his big brothers and his dad.  The nine year old who found brotherhood in the boxing gym. The teenager, bonding with champion Australian athletes from all sports during his time at the AIS.  Heading into his second Olympics, Garside's keen to upgrade from his bronze in Tokyo 2020 to gold in Paris 2024.  He's fired up now but says at first, he was hesitant. He's reflected on the state of mind that took him to his Tokyo 2020 bronze medal for lightweight boxing: “I fed this little beast inside of me… this insecure little boy that wanted nothing more than that Olympic gold medal because he thought then he'd feel good enough.” The difference is, this time Harry has tapped back into the lessons he learned from his childhood heroes.   “I reconnected to that young boy who was inspired by Grant Hackett… who was inspired by Matthew Mitcham.” The Gold Coast Commonwealth Games men's 60kg division gold medal winner chats with former Australian water polo player and Olympian Rowie Webster about finding self belief, how adding ballet to his weekly training schedule has helped him fine tune his body for boxing, and taking his boxing heroes into the ring with him in Paris via his leg tattoos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

World leading organisational psychologists, Adam Grant is this week's guest in The Academy of Imperfection and honestly, we can't believe how much ground the brilliant man managed to cover in this episode.  I mean, sure, you might expect him to touch on the value of embracing our imperfections. Or perhaps he might explore imposter syndrome & the importance in believing in others' belief in yourself. Or how procrastination can actually be a creative force. Or maybe even some tips for those of us who have found ourselves languishing. All of this might seem pretty reasonable stuff to cover. However you might not expect a deep dive into the lessons learned from a junior olympic diving career or an actual magic trick! This ep covers it all…and much much more.  To watch this episode on youtube (and see the magic trick) follow this link: https://youtu.be/s2sY3-mT-u8  If you're interested in hearing more from Adam, the best place to start is his website: https://adamgrant.net Recommended books & articles mentioned in the episode: Hidden Potential, The Science of Achieving Greater Things, by Adam Grant: https://bit.ly/3wBynWW Give and Take, A Revolutionary Approach to Success, by Adam Grant: https://bit.ly/3TrKwqI Creativity Inc: Overcoming Unseen Forces That Stand In The Way of True Inspiration, by Ed Catmull: https://bit.ly/49ZgNur Born Standing Up: A Comics Life, by Steve Martin: https://bit.ly/3TnZTjK It's Called Languishing (article) by Adam Grant https://nyti.ms/48J86Uf Listen to Adam's interview with Steve Martin on his ReThinking Podcast: https://bit.ly/3Tosvtb and transcript: https://bit.ly/3T3cKXa To watch Matthew Mitcham's dive, follow think link: https://bit.ly/3InmPJJ To listen to our episode with Dr Emily on Truth vs Harmony, follow this link: https://link.chtbl.com/R8gly4ci    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew Mitcham will always have a place in sporting history. In 2008, the Australian became the first out gay man to win an Olympic gold medal when he triumphed in the diving at the Beijing Olympics – and set a new Olympic record in the process. It marked the high-point of a remarkable sporting comeback for Matthew, who had only returned to diving fifteen months before after falling out of love with a sport where he felt he couldn't be his authentic self. That theme of authenticity is something that comes up time and time again during our chat with Matthew – which, we promise, is an absolute cracker. We talk about Matthew's diving career; leaving the sport and returning to it (including what changed that made him want to come back); using his platform to help others; inclusivity; authenticity – and where his medal is at the moment. Matthew is someone we've wanted to have on the podcast from pretty much the moment it started, and we're grateful we've finally made it happen. It doesn't disappoint.

Playing the game: The elite mindset and business thinking with Olympic Gold Medallist Matthew Mitcham, Olympian & Hockeyroo Emily Chalker and Commonwealth Games Swimmer Adrian Radley. As the saying goes it's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. Although to be honest most of us would prefer winning than perhaps losing. But even when you do end up with an unfavourable result there's always something to learn and that's what they call the silver lining. So what can business leaders learn from elite athletes and the training they hone over years in preparation for competition? We find out when host Whitney Fitzsimmons speaks to special guests and champion athletes Matthew Mitcham, Emily Chalker and Adrian Radley. Matthew Mitcham tells Whitney that while achieving a momentous perfect dive and a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics was beyond anything he'd ever imagined, for him he's proudest of being the first openly gay athlete to compete at an Olympic Games. Watch Matthew's historic dive. Whitney also chats to former sports journalist and mindset coach Stuart Doughty who says success is about focus and intent. Stuart believes business leaders can learn a lot from watching and researching how elite athletes train and behave. Read more about Stuart's take on the Olympic mindset and how it applies to leadership. And Whitney also catches up with Hockeyroo Emily Chalker who recently returned from competition at the Tokyo Games and Adrian Radley retired Commonwealth Games backstroke swimmer. Both now at KPMG they discuss how elite athletes can successfully make the transition from full time sport and training to the world of business.

Australian Olympic great Matthew Mitcham has detailled the thoughts that ran through his mind when he notched up the highest-ever 10-metre platform diving score at the 2008 Beijing Games. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew Mitcham is a retired Olympic Diver who has a life full of firsts. He’s the first openly gay athlete to ever win an Olympic gold medal, winning that gold medal with the highest-ever single dive score in Olympic History. While his career was incredibly high profile, and he indeed achieved dominance in his sport - it was what happened out of the pool that has in my opinion shaped the wonderful man who came over to our apartment this week. Matthew wrote a memoir in 2012 called “Twists and Turns”, and is currently topping off a linguistics degree as he grows into a superb cabaret performer. He’s got a show coming up this week in Sydney - UP CLOSE AND PERSONALwith Matthew MitchamSaturday 27 October, 7pmBondi Pavilion Theatrehttp://www.bonditheatrecompany.com.au/shows/up-close-and-personalThis conversation talks a bit about diving. A bit about sexuality, and a LOT about addiction and recovery. There’s quite a bit of stuff in here that might trigger you if you or someone you know has a history of crystal meth use - and if you need someone to talk to in Australia please call Lifeline on 13 11 14, or reach out to the crisis counselling service in your area.Speaking of reaching out. In this conversation Matthew and I speak a lot about meetings. The meetings are everywhere, they’re not hard to find, and if you need help, and you’re willing to do whatever it takes to not need to drink or use again, you’ll find what you need in those meetings. I can’t recommend them enough. If you’ve never had a problem with drinking or using - I hope this conversation gives you a window into what life can be like in recovery, and the daily work that can happen so that life doesn’t need to be a repetitive downward spiral heading to the foregone conclusion of institution, hospitalisation or incarceration, or worse. That’s not the chirpiest intro I’ve done - but this is a solid chat with a guy that’s got some solid time, it was good to talk about recovery this way. You can find Matthew on twitter he’s @matthew_mitcham and instagram @MatthewMitcham88- let him know you heard him here, and enjoy this conversation with Matthew Mitcham.
