    About this ebook

    In No Limits, Michael Phelps - perhaps the greatest Olympic competitor the world has ever seen - will show us the secrets to his remarkable success, from training to execution. Behind his tally of Olympic gold medals - more than any athlete throughout history - lies a consistent approach to competition, a determination to win, mental preparation, and a straightforward passion for his sport. One of his mottos is 'Performance is Reality', and it typifies his attitude about swimming. No Limits goes behind the scenes to explore the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication that catapulted Phelps into the international spotlight. Phelps will share remarkable anecdotes about family, his coach, his passion for the sport, and the wisdom that he has gained from unexpected challenges and obstacles.

    Highlighting memorable races and valuable lessons from throughout his career, Phelps offers candid insight into the mind and experiences of a world champion. No Limits will inspire anyone to follow their passion straight to the finish line.

After returning home from Beijing in 2008, Michael used the well-publicized $1 million dollar Speedo bonus to start the Michael Phelps Foundation through which he hopes to encourage children to lead healthy, active lives, and to continue to grow the sport of swimming.  He now resides in Baltimore, MD with his dog Herman.

      All people should read this book...Michel Phelps earth shattering record is truly inspiring....a story of guts, glory and lots more!
    • 3/5
      Nice Biography on the greatest swimmer and Olympian of all time. This takes you thru Michaels entire career, all his races and his thoughts, strategies. I was expecting this book to be more motivational than it is. Also the details of hundreds of races and the times can get a little boring unless you are a swimming competitor. Micheal does come clean on his DUI arrest and I was inspired about his relationship with a young boy with cancer. Overall it's interesting. I wish it had the results ogf the 2012 London Olympics.
    • 5/5
      In his first post-2008 Beijing Olympics book, Michael Phelps opens up to fans about his childhood, swimming, his training schedule, and more.
    • 3/5
      I really enjoyed this book. It was all about Michael Phelps journey to the Olympics. He began training at the age of 11. It told about his training and sacrifies. The format was choppy and the writing could have been better.
    • 5/5
      A thrilling book that will show you how to reach your dreams. He talks about his life before and at the olympic games showing that there are no limits in what you want to achieve. A great read that will have you gripping to succeedIan D
