Matthew mitcham biography book

I haven't seen the one-man shows that Mitcham has done, where he's brought his stories from this book (and his life) to the stage, but I have the feeling that the stories of his life may work better in that format than on the page.

He's got many great stories to tell, and they really take off when all the right details combine: the facts of the situation, his feelings about them, and a compelling narrative. So, the stories leading up to his famous gold-medal dive in Beijing, and then the lead-up to the London Olympics, have an urgency and punch to them.

And having seen one side of the story (living in Australia and following this win on TV during the Olympics), it was so interesting to learn the background story: his relationship with his coaches, his fractious relationship with Diving Australia, even how the images we saw on screen of his partner and mother cheering him on: to find that was due to the kindness of strangers was heartwarming.
