    "The greats do things when they don't always want to. And that's the separation" -Michael Phelps

  • @bhaveshdodia85

    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".

    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.

    • @souhaibsebbane5623
      @souhaibsebbane5623 2 роки тому +3

      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 ,,✌️.
