Michael Phelps
I treat every race the same. We all wanted to swim fast today and give something back to the crowd.
Michael Phelps
The one thing that's common to all successful people: They make a habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don't like to do.
Michael Phelps
It doesn't matter what else is going on. When you walk into your arena or your - whatever you excel at, you're there to take care of the job that you have to do.
Michael Phelps
Yeah, my friends call me Mike, Michael or just my last name.
Michael Phelps
If I want to achieve the goals I've set, I've got to be in tip-top shape.
Michael Phelps
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.
Michael Phelps
