The difference between a champion and an extremely talented under achiever is mindset maybe ..... What he said is absolutely true, pushing the limits when you have absolutely no mood to do so is what makes the difference in the end ....
He never refers only to himself....he says "we put money in the bank,......" "we worked hard". I think when people achieve so much, they sure become humble. Nice to see how humble Phelps is.
I think It's less about being humble and more about team work , Olympics n all is big deal and u need people with right knowledge and best routine that can help u become the best , there's whole team that helped him.. that's why "we".
that's what I noticed too. He is a great speaker. Is this a natural skill or what? English is not my mother tongue, and I speak 4 languages but I can't speak like him in neither languages.
Every single person you see do this is a writer + big reader. Writing makes you condense your thoughts, so you become better at articulating them like this. Every podcast that has great answers is information from their books.
Emotional stability/ maturity is a must I believe! Even if you are super talented and hard working, but if you can not control your emotions at the right time, you will eventually lose!
People said it wasn't possible for me to waste a decade of my life binging Netflix, UA-cam, and video games, but I proved them wrong. Give up your dreams to accomplish great things.
The greats also know when to stop doing, to avoid overdoing or overexerting oneself. I think my biggest setbacks and failures have come from not being able to recognize when enough is enough, and when I need to rest. Also, pinpointing reasons for health/sleep issues is key - in my case food intolerances almost ruined my life.
Whoa. Loved this and then when he said about Biggie's Sky's the Limit song I just had a flashback to listening to it after playing my first proper team basketball game(despite being scared as hell) and loved it. Then came home and listened to that exact Biggie song on my Walkman(need I mention the decade🤭). Classic times.
Nope, dreaming big is the killer of achieving big things. If you think small and just focus on improving yourself by 1% percent a day then you won't have any expectations. You won't even notice your improvements until you really think about what you've done Don't dream big, live it
@@adrianma2758 Dreaming big is kind of like a destination, if you are doing small things, you will lose clarity of purpose and lose focus and willpower and end up not doing small things altogether...
When he says I believed in the process this line hit a cord with me because I am someone who lacks patience in order to achieve success. This poor characteristic of mine has held be back for years. The process is the key.
Warren buffet, Jeff bezos, Elon musk, bill gates, some of the people that said they ‘tap dance’ their way to work every day. So liking what you do is also important. And pursuing what you have a natural skill for. It’s not all just discipline and hard work.
"The greats do things when they don't always want to." Not necessarily, normal people go to work when they don't always want to, just so that they can consistently put food on the table for their family. Now these are the silent heroes of the world that their kids ought to look up to and respect.
You did not understand what he meant. Phelps was pushing his personal limits EVERY day of his training. I sincerely doubt normal people do that by putting up with ratty bosses for the sake of a mortgage payment.
Having a natural talent is a lot to do with him winning 8 golds. Every acoplished person says work hard but talent and luck is a big part of being on the top along with working hard.
I agree with you, but having natural talent does not trump his hard work over the years leading up to the Olympics, plus most of those swimmers competing with him also have their share of natural talent that made them reach the Olympics (otherwise they wouldn't get a chance to be there in the first place). But then as you said luck as being the right person in the right place does make a change, I believe that's why we all must strike to pick the field (sports or otherwise) that best suits our ability and talent ,,✌️.
Here I declare that I will sacrifice my everything to achieve my goal. My goal is being the best ever of myself. I will edit it after 1 month. Edited:- I'm giving my best

This ..
Great quote isn't it?!!
Magical words

Absolutely my main takeaway from this clip.
The difference between a champion and an extremely talented under achiever is mindset maybe ..... What he said is absolutely true, pushing the limits when you have absolutely no mood to do so is what makes the difference in the end ....
yeh right
True
He never refers only to himself....he says "we put money in the bank,......" "we worked hard". I think when people achieve so much, they sure become humble. Nice to see how humble Phelps is.
And you the wonderful quality of seeing the wonderful quality in other ❤❤🎉
That's cause he has split personality issues, one personality for each gold.
I think It's less about being humble and more about team work , Olympics n all is big deal and u need people with right knowledge and best routine that can help u become the best , there's whole team that helped him.. that's why "we".
What a great speech. He doesn't need script or anything like that, it's his life experience. It's legitimate and authentic. Awesome, man. Thanks
Kobe vibes

@@MrDomwilson21 yeah I felt like that too 🤠🤠
Are you aware that he was doped? This is cheating - they took away his gold medals. Most scandaleous “athlete” of all times
What a striking personality he has built for himself. Outstanding sportsman of our times
Emotional stability/ maturity is a must I believe! Even if you are super talented and hard working, but if you can not control your emotions at the right time, you will eventually lose!
Very Very Important....
m.p.very hard.work.in.water🙏🙏
Amazing athlete, I’m realising now why many people at the top of their game say “we” because there is a huge team working with them
no matter who u are, you need help from others
Any reasonably successful person has a "we" behind them. Great achievements happen with teams, not individually.
❤ great observation skill
Saying that Michael Phelps is a competitive swimmer is like saying that outer space is big. He's the most decorated Olympian of all time!
Swimming lol
Competitive swimmer means most decorated Olympic swimmer. Barack Obama is a man who lived in a big farmhouse with white paint on it.
Only bc there are so many events to medal in swimming compared to other sports. Either way though very impressive.
YAY!!!!! for him.
Outer space might be big, but Phelps' accomplishments are bigger!
It's always a pleasure watching his interviews.
His shoulders are broader than my perspectives on swimming
This is only excuse
People said it wasn't possible for me to waste a decade of my life binging Netflix, UA-cam, and video games, but I proved them wrong. Give up your dreams to accomplish great things.
i am glad you are finding humour there
Arey you high?
@@shubhamzore4329 no, just lazy and stupid; although my mother was high when she was pregnant with me; does that count??

Michael trained his mind to make the situation suitable for his victory. Hard work can outpower miracles.

He is a legend , mentally strong is really important to achieve anything
Another truly inspirational interview with Michael Phelps. "The greats do things when they don't always want to."
what a great guy, being a open as possible of his experience, for the world to see, history will serve u right sir

totally looking for this comment & here u r :D
@@karenbondechek yeah thanks, Karen! 🙃
Hi Mam, hope you are doing good. Just curious to know which type of food intolerance do you have ex. Diary intolerance?
Thank you Dolphin.
You are an inspiration.
Michael Phelps, you're a rare in the planet we call earth.
Agreed 🙌🏽
Never despise the small things 🧘🏽♂️
Truly Inspiring 🙌🏽
Can't wait until motivation channels are ruining this great speech with depressed music 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lol 😂😂
The way he talks needs no music. It would undermine his message
Laughing out loud 😂
If only they added it in the first place it couldn't be bootlegged
@@trans-a.m. think the speach is much more powerful that way

Loved what he said. He is a real inspiration.
It should be "Dream big, then think small to achieve big things"
Yeah the title is a bit misleading
@Muhammadali_GOAT. Yes, you were spot on there...
Achieving has not much to do with Dreaming. Where dream ends, the execution begins. And that results in achievement of success...
Nope, dreaming big is the killer of achieving big things. If you think small and just focus on improving yourself by 1% percent a day then you won't have any expectations. You won't even notice your improvements until you really think about what you've done
Don't dream big, live it

Micheal Phelps......the very definition of a beast!!
Sometimes l simpley wants to thank UA-cam and those virtual platform by which l have access to listen such a legend
Gratitude in the small things keep us going!!!
Incredible guy, huge respect. And the beard ROCKS!!! 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Werde nie vergessen als ich ihn das erste Mal schwimmen sah, unfassbar beeindruckend ❤
I mean for me what he did was so outrageously audacious. Goat of Goats for individual sports in terms of achievment.
Golden words from Phelps.. Hard pill to swallow so if you want something then bring it on the table and do whatever it takes
The sky really is the limit 🌌
Body achieves what the mind believes.
To a degree.
Great speaker. Inspirational.
Wow! A rapper, Biggie Smalls, influenced Michael Phelps ! How amazing that we all play our part. 👍🏽👌🏾✝️🙏🏽

Learnings
- do the things when you don't want to do.
- follow process
- set small goals
Modest title for an exceptional man.
Awesome,,, impressive shows the hidden power in consistency
I pledge to follow this routine.
My god thank you for that bed thing statement , clears a lotttttt
What a charismatic person !
This Guy right there, Is a great speaker too!
It also helps to have feet like fins and a short legs/long torso, the perfect swimming specimen.
Great speech! 🙌🙌🙌
small goals and continues effort without stopping is the key
This is very inspiring. Thank you
THE GOAT in swimming!
This guy seems good swimmer..
Hope so he could have good career in competitive swimming...wish him good luck
An articulate athlete 🔥
This dude has more Gold Medals than entire countries added up!
Yea, like my loser country. We have 0.
