“I was not giving it my all. And he was kind of helping me through some like downs and kind of really hit the reset button about a year ago. That kind of started everything, getting a mentality, getting some coaching, and really just not just feeling sorry for yourself out here,” said Mitchell.

This prompted him to improve his game, thereafter. Phelps is also an ardent follower of golf. He made the longest televised putt in history and loves to play the game. Hence, he gave some advice that fueled Mitchell to improve his game.

Being motivated at the top

After feeling dejected and unmotivated, Mitchell met Phelps. The superstar swimmer gave him some advice which proved to be fruitful.

“I just remember feeling like a loser talking to him sometimes, how I felt on the golf course, like pity and sorrow, and this game is hard. He just pretty much said there’s no place for that if you want to be at the top,” said Mitchell.

Ever since he made his debut, Phelps has been on top. He dominated the sport of swimming like no one else. With 23 Olympic gold medals to his name, it is just incredible to see his determination for the sport.

Phelps called it quits after the 2016 Rio games, and now it is great to see him helping out other athletes deal with tough situations.
