Other nights ... I visualize to the point that I know exactly what I want to do: dive, glide, stroke, flip, reach the wall, hit the split time to the hundredth, then swim back again for as many times as I need to finish the race.
Michael Phelps
I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.
Michael Phelps
Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are. Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.
