MICHAEL PHELPS“THE AQUA GLADIATOR”

“I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible…!!!”

-said before the Beijing Olympics

An ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) person has very little control over that which his mind Hyper Focuses on. Michael has the benefit that which he Hyper Focuses on is useful in building a swimming career; however, if Michael’s mind had focused on insect collecting instead, I don’t think he would be praised so much…!!!

Concentration, his Spirit,

HYPER FOCUSING..

Michael Phelps has ADHD, his laser like concentration, the mental part of his makeup, believe it or not, is rather normal for most people with ADHD. It is called Hyper Focusing. “Hyper Focusing allows us to concentrate on something so intensely that we cannot break away from whatever we are focusing on, it can provide supreme drive and motivation. Hyper Focusing is a major cause of dilemma and strife, it can be more of a distraction than anything else. It is often said that kids with ADHD cannot focus and concentrate in school, that’s not entirely true, it is just that these kids are focusing on other things – day dreams, that butterfly outside the window, or maybe something they want to do outside of class (like ISHAN in TAARE ZAMEEN PAR..!!!)

"I listen to Eminem on my headphones.I don't know the name of it but I think that just listening to that fires me up. It's working so far I just hope it keeps up." -Michael Phelps

MICHAEL PHELPS

OPPORTUNITY: To represent himself in

Olympics & to prove himself as

being abnormal he can do, what the normal man can’t

do..!!THREAT: Ryan

Lochte another competitor of his

own country…

STRENGTH: His confidence, his Stamina, & his

VISION to do where no one can even think

about..WEAKNESS: As being patient of

ADHD he was not normal man but he

used his abnormality as his STRENGTH…

As USA has great records in

Olympics so there was too

much of pressure on Phelps to

perform better than before…

To utilize his weakness as his

STRENGTH as he has god gifted miracles

in his body structure…You can't

put a limit on anything. The more

you dream, the farther you get.”

DYNAMICS OF MICHAEL PHELPS…!!!!

It is apt to say that God’s bounty is equal for all mortals to share but it is the ‘Hero’ who immortalizes himself by utilizing the bounty to the fullest using his grit and determination…!!!

“

Wing span is 3 inches more than his height, which makes his hands like act like a paddle and provides perfect levers for him to pull himself through the water.

Huge feet provide the effect of flippers and his ankles, which are hyper mobile (double jointedness), enable him to lash like a dolphin’s fins for maximum thrust inside the pool.”

Lesser lactic acid production in his body, which helps Phelps to be ready for the next set in say, 2 minutes. His body can replenish him faster than any other professional swimmer. The lactic acid build up is extremely low and he is the only known swimmer to have had a 5.6 oxygen starvation level after a race!!!!

KEY SUCCESS FACTOR OF MICHAEL PHELPS…!!!

The low fat content improves the power-to-weight ratio which enables him to convert his efforts into sheer speed.

The average shoe size for a person the size of Phelps is 12; he wears a size 14 which gives him a 10% advantage over the competition.

Phelps is double-jointed in the chest area; this enables him to extend his arms higher above his head and pull down at an angle that increases his efficiency through the water by as much as 20%

He has the prototypical swimmer body, he has an extremely long torso; that of a 6 foot 8 person. Whereas his legs are shorter, only that of a 6 foot person. This helps him keep his head above water in his signature event, the 100M butterfly

KEY SUCCESS FACTOR OF MICHAEL PHELPS…!!!

Phelps is double-jointed in the chest area; this enables him to extend his arms higher above

his head and pull down at an angle that increases his efficiency through the water by as much as 20%; this also allows him to have

quicker starts and turns…!!!

Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my

home…!!!

“I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind

to it and put the work and time into it…!!!”

STRENGTH:1) Ssomeone realizing and living up to his potential...!!!

2). Mr. Phelps’s mother, Deborah Phelps, who also says that children with A.D.H.D. have great potential if parents are willing to help them with structure and scheduling, behaviour modification and accentuating their positive traits.

3).“His physical assets are custom made for swimming; he has paddle-like hands, no body fat, possesses nuclear calves and is uniquely flexible. Even his heart is something of an enigma and the pressure that his body can take due to the better cardio functioning is beyond even the fittest of athletes.

4). The recovery time of the American Shark after a race is also mind boggling.

5). Phelps is double-jointed in the chest area.

WEAKNESS:1). ADHD(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) CANNOT FOCUS ON A PARTICULAR SUBJECT. He has various physical disorder.

2). "He looks natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He is also the gold medal winner of bong hits.

4). And most imp his spirit, his determination as aptly said by himself-”I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.”

OPPORTUNITY:1).LONDON Olympics 2012.2). To make some more memorable and unbreakable records.3).Anti-Doping Agency's given that they introduced the four-year ban on sport's drug users.(just to save sportsman like Phelps) 4). Phelps, who earned £4million last year in endorsements, has resumed training for the 2012 games.

THREAT:1) His wild behaviour is in stark

contrast to the grim regime which took him to the top of his sport.

2) He is very low tempered, loose of his controls very quickly as he does in Colombia.

3) United States Anti-Doping Agency in which US Olympians can volunteer to be tested in excess of the World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines. He was tested nine times in Beijing. He cleared them all to leave the big mouths wondering.

I want to be able to look back and say, 'I've done

everything I can, and I was

successful.' I don't want to look back and say I should have done this or

that. I'd like to change things for

the younger generation of

swimmers coming along…!!!

It goes to show you that not only is this guy the greatest swimmer of all time and the

greatest Olympian of all time, he’s may be the greatest

athlete of all time. He’s the greatest racer who ever walked the planet…!!!

- Mark Spitz (on Phelps winnings his 7th gold

medal)

EIGHT GOLD MEDALS IN A SINGLE OLYMPIC BY A MAN WHO IS NOT NORMAL AS WHE ARE…!!!

BE A BARRIER..
