My book No Limits is written by Michael Phelps. Michael is a professional swimmer. In my book michael tells about his life and how he got started swimming. In the first couple chapters the book tells about how michael didnt like swimming at first when his mom put him in swimming classes at age five. He tells how his mom hired him a swim coach named Bob. Bob is Michael's coach still today. Bob has kind of been a father figure to Michael sense Michael's dad has not been a very big part of his life. Michael tells about how he was such an active youngster with a ton of energy. He was involved in many different sports, but later just narrowed them down to one sport. Swimming being that one sport. This was a tough decision for Michael because he loved sports, but he knew in all reality he didnt have the chance to be a professional in other sports that he did in swimming. Michael then goes on to tell about how he would write goals on a sheet of paper, and show them to Bob and even if the goals were not realistic Bob wouldn't tell Michael. People, not Bob, would tell Michael that he couldn't do something, that he wasn't good enough. This would motivate Michael. As the book goes on Michael starts telling about later in his life how he qualified for the Olympics for the first time. He tell's a bunch of storys of his first olympic expierence. He didnt achieve the goals he had in mind at this Olympic, this just motivated him to set higher goals and work hard to achieve them. The book tell's how During training Michael fell and broke a bone which took him out of training for awhile. It then tells about how he set a goal to win 8 gold medals at the next olympic's. This would be one of the greatest accomplishments of any swimmer ever if he could achieve this, this is where im at now.
