Показать описание
With a total of 28 medals, Michael Phelps is the most celebrated Olympian of all time. At the height of his career in Rio 2016, he had won no fewer than 23 gold medals, more than twice the number of the second-highest record holder!

Now, the question is, what makes Phelps so good at swimming?

The answer lies in the combination of genetics, willpower, and skill. Phelps has an oddly ergonomic efficiency in the pool, giving him a distinct advantage over his competitors. This distinct advantage stems from his eccentric body structure. Watch our video for a comprehensive explanation.

i feel like all three are essential, since without any other of them he wouldnt have been as or even successful at all: the perfect genetics, the perfect ethic and mindset, and the money to affort food and training all day!

APESAR DA GENÉTICA TER SIDO FAVORÁVEL A SER NADADOR, SEM TREINAMENTO E DEDICAÇÃO INTENSA, ELE Ñ TERIA SE TORNADO ESSE FENÔMENO DAS PISCINAS! O CARA ERA IMBATÍVEL!
