More quotes by Michael Phelps
I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.
Michael Phelps
I think with practice, you can being whatever you want to be, and with a goal you can go in any direction that you want to go in.
Michael Phelps
I want to test my maximum and see how much I can do. And I want to change the world of swimming.
Michael Phelps
I think the biggest things I am looking forward to is getting new faces into the sport. Getting kids who could be afraid of water to feel comfortable in the pool.
Michael Phelps
I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.
Michael Phelps
I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.
Michael Phelps
I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.
Michael Phelps
If you say can't you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.
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
People say to me, 'You're so lucky. You get to see the world.' But I don't. I go to the hotel and to the pools and back again. That's it.
Michael Phelps
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
Michael Phelps
If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.
Michael Phelps
I'm the same kind of guy before all this happened.
Michael Phelps
Yeah, my friends call me Mike, Michael or just my last name.
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
You can't put a limit anything.
Michael Phelps
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.
Michael Phelps
Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.
Michael Phelps
I would visualize the best- and worst-case scenarios. Whether I get disqualified or my goggles fill up with water or I lose my goggles or I come in last, I'm ready for anything.
Michael Phelps
I've always been fortunate in that I've been able to put myself in my own zone and relax. It comes naturally. I'm lucky to be that way
