“Coach Bob Bowman’s philosophy is rather simple: We do the things other people can’t or won't do. Bob’s expectations are simple, too. It’s like the quote he had up on the whiteboard one day at practice a few months before the Games. It comes from a business book but in sports it’s the same: ‘In business, words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.’
Bob is exquisitely demanding. But it is with him that I learned this essential truth: Nothing is impossible.
And this: Because nothing is impossible, you have to dream big dreams; the bigger, the better.
So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can’t be done. But all it takes is imagination.
You dream. You plan. You reach.
There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes.
But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits. Perseverance, determination, commitment, and courage—those things are real. The desire for redemption drives you. And the will to succeed—it’s everything. That’s why, on the pool deck in Beijing in the summer of 2008, there were sometimes no words, only screams.
Because, believe it, dreams really can come true.”
~ Michael Phelps from No Limits
