Michael Phelps, (MUHAMMAD AIMAN AIZAT BIN HIZWAN)
My hero is Michael Phelps. He may just be an exceptional swimmer
to some, but to me, he is an inspiration. He has competed in the Olympics five
times, won 27 gold medals, 39 world records throughout his career, and been
named the world's best swimmer seven times. When we consider his
accomplishments, it's rather simple to determine who the greatest swimmer of
all time is. Phelps, though, brought more to the podium than just awards and
records. Elements that wouldn't be too difficult to list in a spreadsheet. such
as motivation, hope, and inspiration. the feeling that anything was genuinely
conceivable.
In Baltimore, Maryland, on June 30, 1985, Michael Phelps was born. At the age of seven, he began swimming for two reasons. the initial? He was interested in swimming since Whitney and Hilary, his older sisters, were swimmers. The next? Phelps' mother believed that swimming could help him control his excess energy because he had so much of it as a child. At age 10, he found how much he enjoyed swimming and joined the North Baltimore Aquatic Club.
Due to his career total of 28 medals, Phelps is the most decorated Olympian ever. Three of those medals are silver, two are bronze, and 23 of them are gold. The next closest Olympian, former Soviet Union gymnast Larisa Latynina, has ten less medals than him. No one even comes close to his 14 more gold medals than Latynina, who has nine and shares them with three other athletes.
It's no secret that Phelps put in a lot of training. If you
want to be the best swimmer in the world, you must! In the height of his
training, Phelps averaged 80,000 metres of swimming every week. That's close to
fifty miles! He would swim twice daily, and if he was training at a high
altitude, even more frequently. He spent a lot of time practicing drills,
vertical kicking, underwater kicking, and sculling. Even the very finest need
to practise the basics every day!
You'll become hungry when you train as much as Phelps did.
Yet Phelps was unquestionably a voracious eater. Phelps himself debunked the
claim that he consumed more over 12,000 calories per day. He actually consumed
8 to 10,000 calories each day to fuel his 30 hours of exercise per week.
Michael Phelps is living proof that you can accomplish your
goals if you maintain discipline and focus on them. We hope that you are
motivated by his work ethic and that you may implement some of the
success-building strategies that Michael Phelps employed in your own swimming
path. We can all learn a lot from Michael Phelps' extraordinary career,
including how to select a decent coach, fuel your body appropriately, and
exercise with discipline.
