NoahSife.com would like to congratulate Michael Phelps for winning 8 Gold Medals at the Olympics. An almost impossible feat was accomplished by one of the greatest athletes on the planet. He beat Michael Spitz’s record of 7 and recieved a one million dollar bonus from Speedo.

I really look up to people who can play as the favorite. Most people talk about playing as the underdog, where they have nothing to lose. They just go and play their heart out. What about people who have everything to lose, and everybody is expecting you to win. That’s even harder than playing as the underdog. When you play as the favorite you play against yourself.

The Bulls did it after the 72 win season. The Patriots didn’t after going undefeated during the season. Michael Phelps did it with ease. The next time your in a difficult situation approach it like your the favorite. It changes the way you view the situation totally and gives you a certain edge. Thank you Michael for inspiring a nation!!
