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

Michael Phelps
Every day after I wake up, I think, 'Wait... this can't be real I'm still going to wake up.'
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
You can't put a limit anything.
Michael Phelps
