More quotes by Michael Phelps
If you're not on your 'A' game in our workouts every day, you're going to get absolutely smoked.
Michael Phelps
I like to get in my own world. When I'm getting ready for a meet, I always have headphones on, listening to rap music to get myself fired up
Michael Phelps
I like to just think of myself as a normal person who just has a passion, has a goal and a dream and goes out and does it. And that's really how I've always lived my life.
Michael Phelps
Anything is possible as long as you want it, you work for it. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, the only person that can really put pressure on you is yourself
Michael Phelps
If I want to achieve the goals I've set, I've got to be in tip-top shape.
Michael Phelps
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
And, you know, being able to wear the stars and stripes, when you step up on one of the blocks or, you know, when you step off of an airplane or when you hear the national anthem play, you know, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world because you know that there are people at home who are supporting you and watching you.
Michael Phelps
So, you know, if, if I wanted to get up and just play golf one day, I would just get up and play golf. If I wanted to go to Vegas, I would just get up and go to Vegas.
Michael Phelps
Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.
Michael Phelps
It's not how you start, but it's how you finish.
Michael Phelps
I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
Michael Phelps
My little son is already like me - my mom has always said I used to bounce off the wall and never stop talking or sit still. I'm starting to see that with him. I guess it's living proof he's part of me.
Michael Phelps
Being able to do something that's never been done before, that's what I've always wanted to do. . . . There was nothing that was going to stand in my way of being the first.
Michael Phelps
It's tough to put into words right now, but I finished my career how I wanted to. Through the ups and downs of my career I've still been able to do everything that I've ever wanted to accomplish.
Michael Phelps
My mom never really pushed me into doing something. It was kind of whatever I wanted to do, and that was what made me continue and have the longevity that I had in my career. I went through ups and downs in the pool when I loved it and when I hated it.
Michael Phelps
I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it's a pretty decent swim, ... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd.
Michael Phelps
Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination.
Michael Phelps
I try to separate my personal life from swimming.
Michael Phelps
When I'm focused, there is not one single thing, person, anything that can stand in the way of my doing something. There is not. If I want something bad enough, I feel I'm gonna get there.
Michael Phelps
Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are. Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.
Michael Phelps
