QUOTE OF THE DAY
"So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubts. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits."
— Michael Phelps (His book No Limits)

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

THE MORNING BREW
Michael Phelps returns from retirement
Yahoo Sports
The legend is back. It's-not going to be like the past Olympics, but regardless, Michael Phelps
is back.
On Monday an announcement was released stating that Phelps was re-entering competition, after he had been retired from swimming for over a year. The announcement didn't surprise some, as Phelps had entered the drug testing pool back in November.
Don't expect him to be winning every race by leaps and bounds, though. He's not going to be in every race. Bob Bowman, Phelps' coach, said that Phelps will be focusing on three events: the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyles and the 100-meter butterfly.
"I think he's just going to test the waters a little bit and see how it goes," Bowman said. "I wouldn't say it's a full-fledged comeback."
He's also "pretty far" from being in his best shape, but that's not going to stop him from hopping back in the pool.
"He's gotten back into good shape since September," Bowman said. "He can give a good effort and certainly not be embarrassed. He's in enough shape to swim competitively."
His first meet since the 2012 Olympic Games will be on April 24-26 in Mesa, Ariz. On the first day he'll swim the 100 free and 100 fly preliminaries. If he qualifies for finals he'll swim one event there, even if he qualifies for both events. Then he's swimming the 50 free on the second day of competition and could possibly swim the 50 fly "just for fun," Bowman said.
His return alone, regardless of the
events he's competing in and the shape that he's in, is sparking excitement from all around the swimming community.
Former Olympic swimmer and NBC commentator Rowdy Gaines said he was "overjoyed" by Phelps' return to swimming.
and I came back. Michael misses the limelight. He misses making an impact. Swimming is in his DNA, so why not come back?"
"He's our Babe Ruth, our Michael Jordan," Gaines said. "When I retired in 1981, I meant it. But I realized it was something I loved

pics.
Whether he wins or loses, it doesn't matter," Gaines said. "He'll never be better at anything in his life than he is at swimming fast. He's younger than
LeBron James. Should we tell James to retire because he finished on top last year? It's like asking a master woodworker
to stop his craft because his last piece was perfect."
