A Lesson from the Athletes: No Doubt Allowed

I emailed Rohit Brijnath to thank him for his piece on Phelps that I posted earlier this week.

He wrote back: “I will never forget these Olympics because there is something rewarding and inspiring about watching a young man chase an incredible dream. Today, when the Chinese hurdler limped out of the heats, I thought, how hard it is to win even one gold, how much can go wrong. And Michael Phelps has eight. It still amazes me.”

Today, I see he managed to get some face-to-face time with Phelps. I take some lessons from the world’s greatest Olympian.
