Michael Phelps Discusses Everything It Takes To Be A Winner | CNBC

This man is obviously in the Mt. Rushmore of athletes, and I feel sometimes he's a bit underappreciated. He is a true role model of self-improvement and working hard, and yet he looks so down-to-earth.

[@roger72715]

Great observation

[@vu7904]

Absolutely.

[@ZINDASTUDIOS]

MP is a true motivation. Going through all the pressure in those years and surviving a suicide, coming back stronger. He shares his thoughts in such a nice way. A very good interview.

[@alexpiteo9825]

That was an *excellent* interview, man! My respect, admiration and delight with Michael Phelps grows the more I hear, learn, read, watch, so on and so forth, anything that tells a little more each time about his life and the story that goes along with it. It is *truly* a treat to watch and learn of Michael Phelps every time.

[@ritac9123]

Good interview except for the obvious jab at soccer. Don't think i didn't catch that.

[@Vaisin]

Obvious jab at soccer?? I didn't get your comment (sorry hahaha English is not my native language so I may miss some things... )

[@XeleriumDa]

Lesson 1: learn how to swim

[@CarlsCozyCorner]

We all started there man. Once upon a time Michael was afraid of putting his face in the water.
