Swimmer Michael Phelps has had a lot of success. He was a star of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He has won awards all over the world. How does he do it? There are two keys to Phelps,s success. One is that he is a great athlete. The other is that he learned always to think positively.
It helps, of course, that Phelps has the perfect body for swimming. He is tall:6 foot 4 (1. 93 meters) .He has long arms. He also has remarkably big feet. What,s more, his feet are very flat. In many ways, they look like flippers certain sea animals, such as seals and dolphins, use to move through water
These big, flat feet are a real benefit to Phelps in the water. Phelps uses a special move called the dolphin kick when he swims. If our feet leave the water when we are swimming, we swim more slowly. With the dolphin kick, a swimmer,s feet never leave the water. Dolphins swim the same way as Phelps, and they are some of the fastest animals in the ocean.
Phelps learned to think positively when he was a child. School was not easy for him. Phelps was very tall. In many ways, he felt different from other children. His classmates often bullied him. He had problems with teachers as well. One teacher told him he would never succeed as a swimmer. But Phelps never doubted himself. Each day, he went to the swimming pool to practice.
Phelps also learned that failure is part of sports. No athlete can win 100 percent of the time. Phelps realized this at a young age. After losing a swimming race, Phelps would try to think positively. Instead of wanting to quit, he would try to identify his mistakes. He would also try to find something to feel satisfied about. He learned not to blame others for his problems. With this positive view, he was able to improve each year.
As an Olympic athlete, Phelps uses positive thinking to help him focus. From the moment a race begins, Phelps thinks only about winning. He forgets everything else in his life. As a result, he never feels anxious in the pool. a Swimming is normal for me, " he says. "I'm relaxed. T m comfortable. It's my home. "Experts say this ability to stay calm in important moments is something most star athletes have in common.
