Joseph Schooling - The Michael Phelps Fan Who Beat Him at the Olympics | Game Breakers

Imagine that you are 20 years old and have achieved your life goals in the field of swimming. An Olympic gold medal, an Olympic record, I mean, this had never happened before, because she hadn't even been in an Olympic final. She simply advanced, placing first in the subraces and first in the semi-finals. I got scared and then he won. And that's the masterstroke, trying to get over this and get back to... If you want to get better, you have to work harder. His parents were positive about him and I think that's probably the most important thing a parent can or should do.

You have to reach out to continue striving to improve. And May and Colleen are good at this. Always tell him, "Whatever you do, you do it for yourself. Not for me." You just have to support them. - That's what we did. - There is no fixed equation. It's a sacrifice you must be willing to make. We were lucky because Joseph met one of the best coaches in the world. Sergio López was a good coach for development. Then Eddie Reese took it to another level. All I want to do is make it faster. If I can do this, that takes care of everything else.

It's not even close to the speed he can reach. My love of racing is the main reason I get up every morning. I hate training, I'm not going to lie to you, but I know that if I want to get to that point I will do whatever it takes to be the best. I'm looking forward to starting this new part of my life and trying to inspire as many people as possible to do things they previously thought they couldn't do.
