Has Marriage Made Me A Better Athlete? I Diving Tragedy to Triumph | Tom Daley 

It's upsets me seeing all the hate comments because he's gay. So what if he's gay? Love is love no matter what. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈♥️

Personally and I think to most, Tom's a wonderful diver. Everyone has ups and downs in their lives/careers. Rio was unfortunately a down but look at him now he's back up with a World Championship Gold 👌 Wish him all the best in future competitions ❤️

I've been reading the comments and I might be young (14) but it's really hard to understand, to comprehend the amount of hurtful things that are unnecessarily spoken. It's hard to fathom the amount of people who can say these things, that can hurt someone else, (and deliberately so) and still be able to get up in the morning and not be disappointed and/or upset with themselves. I don't understand how people can be so horrible and I really wish they would just think about it, how it would feel and how it would hurt. You can call me naïve if you want, sadly there are so many people out there who disregard others and their feelings, yet I never fully comprehended that, I'm only starting to now. I'm trying to have hope for people but when I read so many comments like this it gets really hard. I know there are people out there who are kind, caring and understanding, not judgemental and sensitive to others feelings; but they're so limited, so few, that it's becoming hard to see through the fog. When I found this channel it really helped me with realising who I want to be and how I want to live my life. I suddenly found someone who can unknowingly change my life for the better, and it's amazing. You, Tom, are my role model. You're strong; mentally and emotionally (for more than I can say, and that is limited to what I know about you). You're kind and brave and work so hard to achieve what you want, what you wish. To achieve your dream, and that's more than I can say for most people (sadly). Your health and fitness videos make me feel like for once in my (so far, short) lifetime, that I can take care of myself and my wellbeing. Your vlogs with Lance make me aspire to be that happy, to find someone who you can not only be thrilled to spend your life with but who are thrilled to be apart of your life and more than content to spend their life with you. I love the banter between you like the married couple that you happily are. I love that you can do all this and have fun whilst doing it. Most of all I love that you've shared this with me, with all the viewers and anyone lucky enough to stumble upon this channel. And let's not forget Lance too, he's also my role model. I love that he fights for what he believes in and I admire how influential he is. How brave and strong he is too. Congratulations Tom and Lance to all the achievements you've made, for your marriage and for your happiness. Congratulations Tom for finding your way through all those tough spots and coming out a campion. Congratulations Lance on finding such an amazing man. :) xx

1:15 Wrapping your medals around Lance's oscar have got me feeling overwhelmed😍❤️ Truly a POWERFUL COUPLE Tom, u r amazing

I dont know how late i am but CONGRATS ON YOUR MARRIAGE!

Petition for Tom to make more videos with Dustin.

He is now literally the most successful British Diver ever and probably one of the very few divers beaten Chinese divers in the world series within last decade and half as the Chinese dominate diving for such a long time. That is precision and dedication. Well done Tom. Keep it up!

I think a big theme in this video is the fact that this year, you didn't focus so completely and weren't so serious about diving as you were before. Not taking it as seriously probably means you put less pressure on yourself which in turn probably means you aren't as stressed about diving. You said that this year you just tried to do your best, enjoy yourself and have fun, so maybe that attitude has caused you to worry less and be less stressed, and therefore is what has caused you to be so successful this year. (obviously as well as all the hard work, determination, time, effort, energy and skill you put into diving!) Although when it comes to competitions like the olympics I imagine there's a lot of external pressure so perhaps others wouldn't like it if you went into those competitions with that attitude! 😂

Reading all the hate in the comments is making me feel so horrible, I can't even imagine how you must feel. You and Lance are the most adorable couple and inspire me every time I watch one of your videos!

He needs to win gold in 2020

I absolutely love the person that screams right after you touch the water when you dive. She has so much energy. I need someone like that in my life LOL

Could Lance be a vampire? He doesn't age pass 20.

Thomas.. your Dad would be so proud of you and rightly so, your dad and mom have raised a lovely man... and Lance is lucky, as you are to have found him... may you be happy always and ever.... love from Brian In Ireland and Spain.

You kind of forget when you see Tom smiling, being nice and sometimes silly how fiercely competitive he is and he really has nerves of steel. Amazing guy.

I'm no diver, I actually barely go near water. I am not British, never visited actually. I've never been to a diving competition, one meter off the ground is scary to me. I don't work out... I don't do a lot of things that this channel has on it. I still watch every time you post because you are fun! I like seeing the place you go, the achievements you make, I like to see your husband and the happy relationship that proves that love always wins. I'm so happy you are back to a good place and I hope you never leave that happy place with or without diving.

He is so adorable, handsome and inspiring

"I know i keep talking about it" You can talk about it all you want, you deserved it and we are here to support you

Its really amazing how open you talk about your sexuality... I think there are too many people who don't.

#ThanksTomDaley for reminding us that failure can teach us something! You are an INSPIRATION for us to keep *pursuing our DREAMS!* 🥇❤️🌹

This just shows how important it is to find somone who supports your sucess and would still love you even if you didnt. Someone who truely cherrishs your growth and pushes you to be your best. Lance is literally so so incredible to Tom and vise verser, honestly one of the most inspiring relationship ive seen.

Don't let the rude people get you down. Congratulations on getting maried.

All the screams at the end of the dives were so funny 😂

I'm so glad you have Lance in your life know, I really love his quirkiness and the look on your face. Robbie is blessed with two loving parents.

Tom. Recently became a subscriber. Thank you for this update. So very proud of you. Olympic Alternate here in 1988. Canadian Figure Skater. Matthew Hall. I am so proud of you both for being exactly who you are. It's so easy just to be yourself. Rest and enjoy life. Stretch. Stay strong and keep checking off those goals. 👍👍👍👍Matthew Hall

So proud of you Tom ❤️

Personally I think that u r the best diver, ur videos always inspire me to look at my life in a positive way:) love all ur videos, can u please do a workout video with lance.....☺

Keep up the good work tom as a Potter head I want to give you my best quote: "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only turns on the lights." - Professor Albus Dumbledore

And now you are an Olympic champion 🤴🏼 absolutely an inspiration ❤

Jesus that wedding looked iconic

Everyone has ups and downs. But it's how you refocus, reprioritize and come back from the lows is what matters. When Rio didn't turn out the way you wanted, you dove deep within and grew as a person. That made you a better athlete all round. And that is SO INSPIRING. The fact that you achieved this level of maturity and freely share your journey with your fans is really special!! Thank you so much ❤️ You are a true icon 🥇

You continue to be an inspiration to all of us who have had to get up off the floor of disappointment, dust off our knees and climb back up the ladder. And to answer your question ... being married to your soulmate makes one a whole person! Be blessed !

I don't often comment but really want to offset some of this negative crap being said. I've pretty much watched all of your videos....you're beautiful, Lance is beautiful, your marriage is beautiful. Congrats on your world championship! Quite a year you're having...can't wait to see what's next. Thank you for sharing so much of your life. Your fans love you so much!!!

What an inspiration you are. I watched Lance's Oxford Union talk and can see why you love him. Both of you are such passionate persons. All the best to both!

All I can say, from my own experience, is that marriage makes me feel more secure and confident. I hope that the same applies to Tom and Lance. Love can move mountains.

You're so inspirational and it's incredible how you pushed yourself so much and managed to win a gold in Beijing, especially with a different coach! I love you so much xxxx

i'm not gay but you have to agree this is a good looking guy

Your doing amazing sweetie.

If Tom Daley was a comic book superhero, he'd be...Tom Daley.

NEVER celebrate a victory until you know for sure, scores are on the board. So many times people get cocky or they think there isn't enough time, but as long as there are a few seconds, a few runners, divers, basketball or football players running and competing behind you, someone can always snatch that victory. So glad it was you this time!

God he's hot and so amazing

You and Lance were made for each other

Tom I think this is one of your best videos. So open and frank. A great mix of the technical and the emotional. What a whirlwind 12 months it has been. Truly inspirational stuff for folk of all ages. But where was the honeymoon?!

It is so hard when something you have been working so hard towards doesn't go the way you wanted. I am so happy you & Lance found each other & your relationship has made all aspects of both of your lives so much stronger. Stay strong together!!! xxx

We will always loooove and support you Tom ❤️ Keep it real and never let yourself down 🙈 You mean the world to us 😘 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

I still can't believe you train at Plymouth the fact that when I'm at a swimming gala you could be behind that curtain and I wouldn't even know it

My favorite part of your dives secretly is the instant cheering and shouting from the people filming and all your supporters.

Tom y'all cute af

I think everyone is just so proud of Tom. We all love you!

Thank you Tom for sharing part of your life with us. May you have many more years of winning medals, and many years of a happy marriage.

So incredibly proud of you, Tom! To go through heartbreak in Rio and then come back and smash this season is amazing and just shows what a remarkable person and athlete you are! And it's lovely to see how happy you are in your personal life! Meeting Lance really did change things for you and the obvious joy and contentment you have found together really shines through in your diving as well! Thank you for sharing your life and career with us in these videos, your channel is the best! ❤️❤️❤️

This was very refreshing in a way to see that everybody even those who are world champions have low moments and can arise from them, so thank you for that

lmao I'm Chinese and I can't help thinking what the Chinese diver was feeling when u snatched that champion right from him😂 you're both my favourite male divers but he won the olympics, and you should win once too!! Go for another gold at the next olympics!!

Hey Tom. Tho im from HK i am so proud of u! It's amazing for u to stand up from the abyss, and achieve more than u expect! Remember to relax and not to be too stressed in the next season. Aim high, fly high!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

This made me cry, I'm so happy your happy Tom. From the moment I met you, my life has been better. From the moment I went home and researched you I became so much happier in life:) I love you

"I got to spend lots of time in lance" 😂😂

You describe perfectly the feeling of being married. I feel the same way and it's been 21 years 😍 Was an absolute joy to be in Budapest and watch you win! Thanks for sharing, and keep enjoying your honeymoon - and married life ❤

I always love to see the photo of Deb Daley rushing to embrace the newlywed couple.

Congrats, Tom. Love these videos. My husband and I wish you and Lance all the best!

*You’ve both created a beautiful family together. You both are doing a job that you love. I think you’re doing very well, so enjoy it!*

that was so motivating when he said, "Oh, you're going to play that game? Well then i can play too." IM SO PROUD TOM!!!!!

Dear Tom, I am proud of you. You are the best diver in the world. Moreover, you are honest to yourself and your fans. I wish you and Lance a lifetime happiness. Ignore haters. They do not deserve your attention. Focus on your career and private life. I love you and your husband! 😍😍😋😍

I think that everyone has their ups and downs and going from Rio to World Champion proves this. I would also like to say that you and Lance are the most amazing couple ever you can see how much you love each other. There was no doubt that you had to get married and I'm extremely happy for both of you. I will confess that before you two I had little interest in gay rights. I wasn't ever against the LGBTQ community but after watching some of Lance's speeches I became an active supporter.

This video made me cry a bit, you're so lovely Tom and you've been through so much! You deserve every good thing that comes your way and I hope you're enjoying your time off now and honeymoon with Lance! Love you xxxx

Tom Daley you are the best diver in the world！keep fighting!

Its a 4 year old video. I am seeing this video. And I must tell you your determination makes me want to be better. Today only I was devastated and heartbroken with how I was performing, My academic scores weren't great for some consecutive tests and today was the day, I felt like I was exhausted and seeing you go through so much and emerge as the champion you are is amazing. Congrats on your Olympic win btw.

This is so funny. So the championship was in my country and I remember talking to my friend while this played in the background on the tv. And I wasn't even paying attention but right when Tom was about to dive, I looked over at the tv and watched his last jump and I was like "whoa that was amazing! Who is that?" and my dad told me who he was and I was like "Ok I want him to win so bad" and he did! I was so happy and I didn't even know him!

This video left me in tears...so happy for all that you accomplished this past year and so incredibly proud of a man I've never met, yet one who I want to succeed more than anything.

YES, I believe a good or functioning marriage Does make a person better!!!

So love watching these videos of your divingand feel like an ‘honorary Auntie’ cheering you on in my ex-pat home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Keep doing what you do and enjoy the ride! Much love always to you, Lance and Robbie.

So proud for you Tom may the rest of your career be wonderful and I cant wait to follow along!!!

Tom, thank you for sharing different parts of your life with your RU-vid family!!! I found your channel by accident and I have enjoyed your films very much!!! Congratulations on being the World Champion Diver!!! Congratulations to you and Lance on your wedding!!! Please take care of one another and enjoy life!!!

I love how after every dive you can hear the beginning of the crowd screaming it's hilarious 😂 And congratulations Tom you are amazing I'm so happy for all your success!

Simply proud of you, Tom! Whatever you are aspiring for in your future, we (I mean me) are behind you and support you all the way. Thanks for the video, mate. Huge hug.

I'm so happy, that you won the World Championship in Budapest! I remember watching you in TV and seeing your happyness, was really joyful. Now, I hope you will remember Budapest, because you made in this city something increcidible ☺ Greetings from Hungary! ❤

It's always a great pleasure to watch your videos: all that great vibes, humour, trying to share good messages and positive thoughts. Remembering that video when you came out of the closet, all the way to this one, it's amazing! Many generations get to witness how much you've grown: on the professional and personal levels, and now as a gay married couple. It's really an honor to be a witness to that. A great example of what a proud gay man can be and a really great role model for many young and older generations. Congrats Tom! Cheers from México!

Your body is so gorgeous, sculpted like a Greek God wow. Congrats on all your achievements! Do us proud in 2020!!

0:57 Tom said in Lance...

Solid Gold, in diving and in life. Congratulations on both counts! p.s. - isn't it fun to be married and say "husband"? 😍

God be with you Tom!

Tom Daley is like little bro matériel. Super talented - I have a deep appréciation for thé sport

Tom, I hope you & Lance had an awesome honeymoon. Thanks for the video. I watched the World Champs 3 times. 1 live and twice on recording just to enjoy the quality of the diving! I cried a little when you won (in joy!). It was so exciting and I've no idea how you kept your nerve on that last amazing dive! It was amazing to watch. I'm also so pleased Lance and your family were there to enjoy it with you. You know we love you whatever happens when you dive - you have brought so much joy, pleasure and inspiration to so many people. You're amazing and you & Lance are an amazing couple. Congratulations on all you did this year and best wishes for the next season! Huge HUGZ to you both. 👍🤞😁😘

You have a beautiful family and you and Lance are going to have such an amazing life together as that family continues to grow. Here's to to the future! ❤❤❤ I hope you and Lance are having the time of your lives together on your honeymoon!

Tom, I have been diving for almost eleven years now and I'll be honest it has been difficult. Diving in the winter and the summer has kept me busy among other sports and school work as well as my inability to dive competitively over the last few years has drawn a few setbacks but when I first started it was you that kept me going. You have always been my inspiration and you always will be. Congratulations on your wins and I look forwards to following your victories in the future. Love, Bren

It's always a joy to watch you! Have a wonderful off season with Dustin. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Yes, I think marriage has really helped you. Keep up the good work. 🌈😀😇😎

Congratulations! I was watching the competition between you and Chen Aisen. Both of you were brilliant!

You are a true inspiration Tom. I've started watching some diving competitions thanks to you, because watching your performances made me realise how amazing is this sport. You've always impressed me, bcecause of the way you dive, your energy and your ability. I will always support you

Most fascinating thing about you is that you don't think before you describe your ups and down which drives me and motivates so much You're Marvelous

I had the privilege to see you live in Budapest. I was one of the spectators shouting your name in each round, and even if I'm not British I was utterly proud of you. The competition was amazing, everyone gave their best on that day, and you were able to overcome all the disappointments, and gave us such a wonderful performance. Well deserved victory, without any doubt. Have a beautiful summer, and can't wait to see you diving in the next season.

Watching you dive gave me chills!! Amazing

You are such an inspiration, Tom! Wish you all the best, I am so happy for your success this year! Good luck with your sport career, have fun on your honeymoon and come back to London safe and sound! God Bless you, TOM, you and your partner Lance)

You won the gold medal for best diver award because of the hard work you put into the sport. You earned it, and you deserve it. Congrats!

He's the sweetest thing.

I love when the compilation happened, there were screams that just kept getting cut off with each video 😂

You're fricking awesome and your attitude is inspiring💖💖💖

Tom, you're videos are such a pleasure to watch. Not only watching you dive, but in your personal life with Lance. You are an inspiration to a lot of people. Best of luck in your future!

Tom Daley, I have been watching your channel lately and since then I have been inspired. You are an amazing diver. You are an inspiration to young people. Being a dancer I sometimes forget why I do it. Watching your videos reminds me... I do it because it's what makes me feel happy. I am passionate about it. You inspire me to try my best and strive for my goals. The only thing more inspiring than you is your relationship with Lance. You prove to people that no matter what everyone has a soul mate. Someone that will be there for you no matter what. I aplaude you. 👏🏻 I thank you for inspiring me. 👏🏻 And above all I admire you, for being who you are. 👏🏻

Tom I love watching you dive.I have a lot of fun watching you win. I think being married has helped to boost your diving carrer. Thanls for sharing. I am excited for you. and Lance

You really deserved that medal. Your dives were perfect 😊 good job Tom!

Tom you've made us all proud in the UK. Well done. The Olympic Games will happen when it"s ready. Also as a gay man I want to say what an excellent role model you are for an out athlete. I wish you and Lance lots of happiness and laughter in the future, and also good luck in all your diving competitions to come! We all love you in the UK and are always behind you! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🎉🍾🎊

I'm so happy for you on all of your accomplishments. You represent the best anyone can be. Your video brought tears to my eyes. Sending much love to you and Lance.
