People talk about the greatest athlete of all time and often leave this guy out. There’s very few things in life as universal as swimming and he is the best to have ever done it. The goat right here
It's good that Michael Phelps opened up about seeking treatment for his mental health issues, and not to take away anything from Michael, but the first athlete to publicly open up about his mental health treatment, was Ron Artest/Metta Sandiford-Artest when on the court after winning their championship, he acknowledged his Psychiatrist. And these athletes opening up is great for all of us, athletes and non-athletes.
Much love and respect to Michael. This interview was wonderful at making him less "celebrity" and much more down to earth. I know he always seems genuine but this conversation/interview was wonderful at shining a light on the real Michael Phelps ❣️🤗 thanks for this!
I think it helped that he’s being interviewed by someone he’s friends with and knows whose also famous and sees him as a normal guy who is the exceptionally gifted at his chosen field. There’s also mutual respect back at Chris because he’s also one of the best to do it but it’s because of hard work and god given talent. When you’re in awe of the person, you act sycophantic and laugh at everything, it’s comes across disingenuous and annoying. Like Jimmy Fallon
Actually some world class swimmers are pretty small. Daiya Seto is 5’9 and the 200m butterfly silver medalist Tomoru Honda is only 5’7. Crazy if you think about it.
This is so inspiring. Having the guts to face your weaknesses (God gifted problems/mental health concerns) and then also having a large heart to help other people make their greatest weakness their greatest strength. Normalize mental health concerns. My doctor asks me to treat it just like diabetes or BP. As for the world, blissfully ignore and move on in life. There are much more positive things to look forward to and more important problems to solve.
Wow. YT on a roll with the recommends. Just finished this one and Mark Cuban’s. I get triggered watching interviews where the interviewer is doing most of the talking. I’m working on that lol. CP’s interview style is simple, yet super refreshing. Allows me to just, enjoy the conversation. Great work CP! Amazing series, looking fwd to more.
Oh man me too. Even wrote a letter once to a show saying about the too much talking by the interviewer - that’s all I remember, haha, just the interruptions
I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💚
Wonderful conversation and great interview. Deep respect to both of these men. I really want to watch every interview Chris does. I've always seen him as an intense competitor playing for an opposing team and frankly have not been a fan. Now I'm getting to know him as a man and I like him a great deal. Hope he gets his ring... though not at the expense of the Warriors... though this may be the year. Mmm...
I love watching Michael Phelps interviews. Always has wise things to say and very motivational and inspirational to me the past 2 years since I first got into him. Greatest Olympian ever.
Damn that last part that that Michael said felt like he was talking directly to me... almost made me cry... haha I'm good tho I just thought that was crazy
The lesson here is NOT the lousy-grammar superficial questioning. It is, in fact, Phelps' response to being told by an older, more experienced athlete-swimmer that he "couldn't do it" and using it as a psychological springboard to achieving greater, superior results. And that is one common denominator of highly successful individuals in all walks of life!
language is used to communicate ideas. life is too short to spend time quibbling about phrasing and vernacular. character and integrity matters much more, and both of these men have shown - at least in the public eye - that they possess such traits.
Michael Phelps' face popped up in my mind when the young black/African American male swam to fight in the 2023 Alabama Brawl. I plan to retake a swimming class just to pass it.
I am a nobody, and ofcouse can only imagine to differ with the GOAT, but i do believe that you cannot just be sane and be that successful It is good he is talking about mental health and compartmentalization but it is easier to say for him because he has achieved greatness and now that doesn't hold much value maybe.
phelps: "seeing the sunshine everyday is wondrous. You feel like a different person." me: hey that actually sounds pretty nice. *checks current weather in phoenix* *high of 106-111F every day this week* me: ah ok maybe not
Wait so did he make the putt? Either way love CP's interviewing style, relaxed and natural but genuinely curious and you can see he loves to learn things about people.
I remember people saying dont smoke weed it will ruin your life its a gateway drug then I find out Mike use to smoke weed that killed to anti weed talk as he has won 17 18 gold medals
If you are physically and mentally strong..You are Unstoppable!

Great work Chris and Michael. This is great storytelling and narrative.
“That’s different, that’s very different” 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol 😂 I chuckled at that 😆
It’s very different.
Chris Paul's amazing interviewing ability keeps getting better and better. He should have his own show. Senegal, West Africa.
Indeed, lovely guy
Excellent interview, great questions capturing the process behind achieving the greatness
Every kid needs to watch this!!
i think he can still medal if he swam at olympics

Sss
Yeah he’s generally much more condescending (thru the interviewer) to the listening audience.
Dayum......Michael Phelps is frickin huge. I guess all world-class swimmers are.
Edit: Chris Paul is actually pretty great at this interview stuff.
Who is Dayum? Do you mean Dayam Jimiyah pro archer from Azerbaijan?
Agree on Chris Paul being a good interviewer. He asks the questions succinctly, and gets out of the way. Doesn't try to make it about himself.
Actually some world class swimmers are pretty small. Daiya Seto is 5’9 and the 200m butterfly silver medalist Tomoru Honda is only 5’7. Crazy if you think about it.
Michael is one of the greatest athletes of our time. Thank you for this one
He’s the greatest Olympian of all time. Which is pretty badass
@@swimfan752 I'd agree with that
Thanks Chris for doing this in the way u did . The greatest Olympian of all time saying ask for help is something. Love you Phelps.
One of the best interviews I've recently come across. All the best to all his efforts
This is a great interview. It just feels like two pals chatting.
Good job QuickTake! Will show that to my kids swim team in Brazil. MP is the GOAT !!!
Absolutely true Legend..very nice to see you Mr. Phelps.
Seems like genuine vibes. Glad I came across this.

This was great and Phelps is an absolute beast
Glad to hear from him post career alpha. You can tell training and competing took a lot out of him. Big fan of Phelps!
This is great stuff! Thanks CP and MP

You deserve all the accolades Michael....I enjoyed the interview
Great interview!
19:53 he’s amazing 🤩
Chris is an amazing interviewer
No he's not; his native-language grammar is a rock-solid F.
@@Jeph629 he is simple and effective, doesn't talk much like other interviewers
Bloomberg should interview CP3 We're talking about one of the best nba point guard in history here🏀
I just love his and Bowman’s relationship
Michael Phelps the goat won gold medals smoking loud
Phelps is a king
absolute legend
He competed against Tim Duncan, I was waiting for that question.
I like him, great guy!
Great interview
The greatest Olympian ever.
28 medal (23 gold) the only athlete taking home 8 gold medals in a single Olympic.
this was fantastic
@ 19:10; Lacrosse apparently has a bad reputation in the U.S.
Great vid
Nice video and interview, but hate the sound effect of the "slide transition" so much. really disturbing
That's Bloomberg for yah
Just enjoy the video brah
Michael Phelps' face popped up in my mind when the young black/African American male swam to fight in the 2023 Alabama Brawl. I plan to retake a swimming class just to pass it.
Very refreshing!💪🏻⚡️🏊🏻♂️🏀!.
Btw I love Mike's golf shirt lol.. I gotta buy that.
Awesome stuff
Wise words about deppresion
I am a nobody, and ofcouse can only imagine to differ with the GOAT, but i do believe that you cannot just be sane and be that successful
It is good he is talking about mental health and compartmentalization but it is easier to say for him because he has achieved greatness and now that doesn't hold much value maybe.
The way his feet are flexible it crazy 🤯
phelps: "seeing the sunshine everyday is wondrous. You feel like a different person."
me: hey that actually sounds pretty nice.
*checks current weather in phoenix*
*high of 106-111F every day this week*
me: ah ok maybe not
This guy looks so old now, last I heard he was still in college smoking bongs... time flies.
He never even went to college lol
Nice to see mitchell starc! 🙂🙂
Chris Paul looks wholesome
13:30 AMEN
Wait so did he make the putt?
Either way love CP's interviewing style, relaxed and natural but genuinely curious and you can see he loves to learn things about people.
That's a great man right thurrr! Much love!🥰🧡
This is really great interview
Dis is why we all love AZ
Thank you
2 legendary
A true Aquaman !!
Phelps rockin the curry's🔥🔥
Am I the only one who watches an interview when I find out someone is from Baltimore to see if they have an accent??🤣🤣
Chris Paul needs Phelps to teach him that championship mentality
wonderfull
I remember people saying dont smoke weed it will ruin your life its a gateway drug then I find out Mike use to smoke weed that killed to anti weed talk as he has won 17 18 gold medals
What a specimen
GOAT!! :)
CP3 is great at this!
That's its crazy explain everything
Whats up with Michael’s feet at 6:56
Q: "Can you beat that person?"
A: "I don't think that person will get into the pool with me" 😀
Great
❤️❤️❤️
Ian Thorpe: “Phelps can’t win 8 golds in one games”.
Phelps:” I took that personally”
He wouldn't have if Thorpe was still around.
@@SoLazy100 he broke thorpe's record by more than a second in a 200?
@@weinz71 and Paul Biedermann broke his, doesn't make him better. The times in swimming improve.
Didn't Thorpe win wearing body suits when no one else did?
The same goes for me
The closest thing to AquaMan in the human race.
Micheal Phelps is looking like a Quincy from Bleach TWBA
Asthma legend !
To playing the gulfy u hv to swingy the stick at da ball!!!
