Michael Medal
So How Long Has Michael Phelps Been Training to be a Champion?Copyright © 2008 Ed Bagley Stories in regards to teenage phenoms winning gold medals and setting world records at world-class swimming competitions are legion. The list is long and you may add Michael Phelps' name to the list. Phelps begun swimming for the North Baltimore Aquatic Club at age 7. He was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and was encouraged to take up swimming to provide him with an outlet for his energy. He attended the 1996 Olympic Trials as a 10 year old to watch his sister Whitney finish 6th in the 200-meter butterfly while attempting to make the Olympic Team. He cried when she didn't. His other sister, Hillary, would later swim for the University of Richmond. A year later, when Michael was 11, he caught the eye of Bob Bowman, former swim coach for the University of Michigan. Bowman begun coaching Michael at age 12 and outlined a program for his development. While competing at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, Phelps was nicknamed the "Baltimore Bullet". By age 15, Phelps made the United States team by finishing as runner-up in the 200-meter butterfly for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney (Australia). Despite his age and lack of global experience, he qualified for the finals in Sydney and finished 5th as the youngest fellow member of the U. S. team. Five months after his Olympic race in Sydney, Phelps became the sport's youngest male world-record holder by winning the 200-meter butterfly at the 2001 World Championships in Japan. He was 15 years old, and he kept a world record. Before he arrived at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens (Greece), he would set 4 other world records in global competition. In Athens, Phelps would win 6 gold and 2 bronze medals while setting 1 world record, 3 Olympic records and 2 American records. Before he arrived at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing (China), he would set another 8 world records in international competition. In Beijing, Phelps would win another 8 gold medals while setting 7 world records and 1 Olympic record. So what does it take to carry out like Michael Phelps? Start with very intense and very tough training beneath Bob Bowman's watchful eye since age 12. In his peak training for the Beijing Olympics, Phelps was swimming 80,000 meters a week (49.7 miles). If he trained only 6 days a week, Phelps was swimming more than 8 miles each day he trained. All of this training could make a guy hungry. Phelps reportedly eats up to 12,000 calories a day, regarding six times the intake of a normal adult male. This endurance training is what helped Phelps win his 100 butterfly event at Beijing. He was in 7th place at the turn and in some way surged past 5 contenders to close the gap in the last 50 meters and took a half stroke at the wall to win by 1 one-hundredth of a second. Phelps endurance training genuinely remunerated off as he had to swim 17 times in 8 days to get through preliminary and semifinal heats to get to the finals of the 8 races where he won gold medals. Even even though Phelps set 7 world records at Beijing, he does not have a sprinter's speed and could be beat at shorter distances. His endurance training would be what runners call base training, only it is likely that Phelps was much more intense in his crusade than a runner would be, in share because it is requiring little effort to swim than to run. In swimming, you are buoyant on the water; in running, each stride you take on land you are lifting your body weight, which is why running is much tougher on your joints than swimming. So how does he beat challengers who also intensely train for years? Phelps has a very strange body that gives him a physical vantage in the water. He is 6-feet-4 and 195 pounds, but has a 6-foot-7 wingspan (arms stretched out) than is 3 inches longer than his height. His torso is likewise longer equated to his legs, permitting him to ride high on the water. He also has flexible ankles and size 14 feet, permitting him to use a powerful kick. He uses his physique with an impeccable swimming form and efficacy to in a literal sense churn through the water more immediate than his most immediate competitors. After training at Michigan's Club Wolverine with Bowman in Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan Wolverines, both Phelps and Bowman will return to the North Baltimore (MD) Aquatic Club, where Bowman will be the new chief executive officer. Bowman was coach of the University of Michigan men's swim team. Phelps was a student at the school but did not compete for Michigan's swim team because of his professional status. Some humans might think that Phelps' attainments are too good to be true. In fact, they are true. Phelps was tested 9 times for the duration of the Beijing Olympics for performance heightening drugs, and passed each test with flying colors. Like the greatest athletes of all time, Phelps may be beaten and his records may be broken. Should you want to try, I suggest you get started very early in life and work very hard. It also would aid to have his physique, his limitless work ethic, his ferocious competitory drive and a extraordinary coach.
