"An illuminating look at what it takes to be an Olympian… In this story, passion reigns supreme." —Cosmopolitan

"An emotionally articulate memoir…[and] an intimate insight into the good-hearted and talented young man behind the medals." —Attitude

A deeply personal and inspiring memoir from the celebrated Olympic gold medal diver and LGBTQ+ advocate

Tom Daley is one of the most beloved athletes of our time, having competed as a diver in four Olympics, garnering medals and finally, in 2021 in Tokyo, winning gold. But few people know the realities of his life beyond the pool—his struggles, his secret triumphs and the mindset he needed to cultivate to become a champion.

In this deeply personal book, Tom explores the experiences that have shaped him and the qualities that brought him success and joy—from the resilience he developed competing at a world-class level, to the courage he discovered while reclaiming the narrative around his sexuality, to the perspective that family life has brought him.

Inspiring, candid and compulsively readable, Coming Up for Air offers an intimate window into the life and mindset of an athlete and advocate who has left an indelible imprint on sports.

While the structure may not be the most original, Tom manages to paint a picture of the part of his life everyone wants to know that is genuine, honest, and relatable. He is clearly a force for good, and the world would do well to listen to anything more he has to say in the future.

Tom Daley has been in the public eye since his preteen years. Now pushing thirty and having competed in four Olympic games as a diver, he is rather unique in sports. He is obviously quite intelligent, not that that's unique, but he's also very articulate with a capability found more commonly in professionals in entertainment or academia. This autobiographical book is broken into chapters of traits, not strictly chronological. Daley has a voice made for broadcasting, and I saw in an interview that he would like to get into media commentary. If this fine book is an example of his ability, I expect we'll see him doing just that. Highly recommended.

Another Winner From Daley!

I love Tom Daley, but his reading of book was so robotic, it was hard to connect, care, and even finish.

Not as good as I hoped
