How The Greatest Olympian of All Time Wins - Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps won more Olympic gold medals than most countries. This episode is about how. I spent over a week inside the mind of the most decorated Olympian ever — his book No Limits, New York Times profiles dating back to 2002, and every interview I could find. What I found wasn't a story about talent. It was something stranger: a training philosophy most athletes would refuse, a coach who pushed him to his limits, and a confession from Phelps about what he saw when he looked in the mirror that I haven't stopped thinking about since. This is a chapter-by-chapter deep dive into how Phelps thought about preparation, losing, doubters, and the price of being first — told in his own words, from primary sources.
