Michael Phelps Over the years he has pushed himself past ever obstacle thats been in his way. He never settles for less for himself. Even with all the time he put into swimming, he found time to help others through outreach programs.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

The top moment that has made me the proudest as a parent is when he won MVP of the whole city for his age. As well as him giving up his free time at camp to teach a friend how to swim so his friend could hangout at the lake with everyone.
