What's up, folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast where we sit down with top athletes,

researchers, scientists, and more to learn what the best in the world are doing and how you can

unlock your own best performance. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Woop, where we

are on a mission to unlock

human performance.

That's right.

He was the youngest competitor there. And despite being one of the most accomplished

divers on the planet, he talks very openly about how he felt like a fraud until he finally

well-being and managing pressure. We discuss what Tom's dad taught him about being the most

authentic version of himself. How coming out as gay in 2013 lifted a weight off his shoulders.

His thoughts on controlling fear. What does he do exactly leading up

The role of visualization and preparation plays in his success, how he uses whoop to dial in

every aspect of his personal and professional life. You got to listen to how he actually

figured out exactly what he should do to get in the green on the day of the gold medal,
