Why Is It Such A Big Deal

Other Nights ... I Visualize To The Point That I Know Exactly What I Want To Do: Dive, Glide, Stroke, Flip, Reach The Wall, Hit The Split Time To The Hundredth, Then Swim Back Again For As Many Times As I Need To Finish The Race.

I Think Sometimes I Guess You See Records, Say You Want To Get There And Use That As Motivation. In A Way, It's Kind Of Cool If There Is A Possibility To Rewrite History And Be Up There With The Greats Of Olympic History.

I Treat Every Race The Same. We All Wanted To Swim Fast Today And Give Something Back To The Crowd.

I Have Had Extreme Ups And Downs. The Biggest Thing I Learned After I Broke My Wrist Is To Never Give Up. Nothing In Life Will Ever Come Easy. It Depends On How You Deal With Those Obstacles And How You Overcome Those Obstacles. If You Can Overcome Them, You're A Stronger Person. If You Make Mistakes Along The Way, As Long As You Never Make That Same Mistake Again, You're A Successful Person.

Records Are Made To Be Broken.
