Power Question:
What does it take to win 18 gold medals?
Bounceability!
One mental quality you need is the ability to pick yourself up after a loss. The ability to dust yourself off after a fall and focus on the task at hand.
Bouncing back from a disappointing first race in London, a fourth-place finish in the 400 individual medley, Phelps wound up with more medals than any other swimmer at the games: four golds and two silvers. Michael Phelps ends his career with 18 gold medals.
