We have all watched as Michael Phelps has seemed for the last week to be completely unbeatable in a crowded sport, swimming, that has a low barrier of entry for people and is very very competitive. Michael Phelps ended up winning all of his eight events with records in seven of them. This after winning six Gold medals in the Athens Olympics four years ago.
I heard a little bit of an interview with Micheal Phelps yesterday and someone asked him how he could break all the swimming records and if his records will ever be broken. He said:
“Everything is possible if you dream. My coach helped me to dream big. When I got to him he said to me that I should dream big. He told me to dream as big as you can.”
Five hours of training a day and an attitude that he would win, noth that he hoped that he would win but he dremed big that he would win his Olympic gold medals.

Phelphs is an absolute freak. It is so true that being mentally strong is what separates these elite athletes from one another. Just look at Tiger Woods and that is all that needs to be said.
