Phelps is the London 2012 symbol

I think that Michael Phelps is the athlete symbol of these Olympics, not just for the record of medals that is amazing but also for the normalcy showed by his own actions. Here are some of his thoughts.

  • I want to be able to look back and say,  I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
  • I wouldn’t say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.
  • If I didn’t swim my best, I’d think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy
  • The more you dream the more you achieve.
  • I have reached a place in my life where I need to sit down and say, ‘Well, what do I do? What’s best for me?’ I need to look into options for the future.
