Phelps’s relationship with his favorite team

Besides being one of the most decorated athletes of his time, Phelps had a fair share of struggles after the 2012 London Olympics. In fact, he suffered from mental health issues which led him to the lowest point of his life. This is when NFL icon Ray Lewis came to the rescue! Lewis helped the ‘flying fish’ to recover from his all-time low and shared in an interview, “I gave him some harsh reality. I said, ‘Bro, what are you doing with your life?’”

That eventually saved Phelps, as he confessed, “He tore me a new one,” In fact, after that, the Olympic gold medalist decided to learn from the reality check he received from Lewis, and took part in a rehabilitation program to make a comeback.
