Tanni Grey Thompson shows sports is kindness as much as competition.

Tanni Grey Thompson and Grace Dent bite into some yellow, gooey looking food. Text beneath them reads “comfort eating with Grace Dent.”

For all the competition in sport there’s a lot of kindness too as Tanni Grey Thompson shared on the Comfort Eating Podcast.

While talking to Grace Dent, Tanni talked about a time when she was at the Paralympics and gave advice to a really young athlete who was in the same house as her at the athletes’ village about not getting carried away and distracted by all the amazing facilities before he’d competed.

Listen to the episode yourself.

Little tips like that from someone with more experience are a real kindness at what must have been an exciting but overwhelming time for the young athlete.

Do you think there’s more kindness than competition in sport?
