Beneath the Surface: My Story

From the most decorated Olympian of all time comes a candid memoir of â€œadversities overcome and redemption through persistenceâ€ (Swimming World).
Â
Having won twenty-eight Olympic career medals, including twenty-three gold, Michael Phelps is one of greatest swimmers in history, and one of Americaâ€™s most beloved athletes. Yet on his incredible climb to triumph, Phelps faced battles far beyond the countless hours of work in the water.
Â
In his own words, this athlete openly shares his struggles with attention deficit disorder, the trauma of his parentsâ€™ divorce, and the challenges that come with being thrust into the limelight. From his first Olympics competition at age fifteen to his last at age thirty-one, Phelps relives all the heart-stopping drama of his journey from being the youngest man to set a world swimming record to surpassing the greatest athlete of ancient Greece. Full of fascinating insights into his training, mental preparation, and behind-the-scenes perspective on international athletic competitions, this is a chronicle of how a life spent in the water gave Phelps the skills he needed to survive on dry land.
Â
With a forward by sports commentator Bob Costas, Beneath the Surface is a must-read for any athlete, fan, or champion of the underdog.
