Although the Olympics is a dream, Michael says he reminds himself that it's not everything.
2019.
"Obviously going to the Olympics is a goal but once I'm there, if I just live in that moment, what do I have to live for after?" he said.
For Michael and his family, life isn't completely normal a normal teenager isn't training for the Olympics every day. Still, they're grateful for everything.
"We believe that as long as we have certain things in place, we have safeguards," Tina said. As Michael gets closer to reaching one of his goals in life, he reminds himself of something a friend said once about hardships — a quote which pushes him to work harder every day.
SWIMMER FROM PAGE 10
In his free time, Michael spends time target shooting with his compound bow. He and his dad recently bought dirt bikes.
"If today is Good Friday, Easter Sunday is somewhere around the corner," he said.
"I want to show people that it doesn't have to be eat, sleep, swim," he said.
SUDOKU
Michael also travels a lot. He recently returned from Singapore where he was competing in the Junior World Finals. While there, he won the 50-meter backstroke and the title of "Best Male Swimmer" of the meet. He also received a silver in the 50-meter freestyle and butterfly as well as a bronze in the mixed medley.
With winning so many medals and awards, people may wonder how a 16-year-old stays humble and grounded.
Like any other athlete, practice makes perfect, but on days when practice isn't going well, Michael understands the futility of beating himself up for a bad performance.
swimmers and what they have done wrong." Michael said.
"My mom keeps me from getting wrapped up in it all. She reminds me that I am good at swimming, but [my parents] have shown me examples of other professional
"There was a really rough patch last season where I had two to three weeks of really bad practices," he said. "It was tough, and I had to step out of myself and examine my heart and re-evaluate why I'm doing this. I ended up coming around the next week."
Keeping a positive attitude is a big part of the process for Michael, especially with the 2016 Rio Olympics in mind. Olympic Trials start in June in Omaha, Neb. The top two athletes in any event automatically make the team. Making these Olympics is one of Michael's biggest goals.
Michael's long-term goals include breaking as many world records as possible, going to Tokyo 2020 and the World Championships in 2017 and

sets (25-17, 25-21, 25-12).
Sophomore rightside hitter Kelsie Payne and Dockery added a combined 20 kills to Rigdon's already impressive 13. Havili was only one dig away from posting yet another double-double, as she recorded 41 assists and nine digs during the victory over Wyoming.
The final match of the tournament pitted Kansas against Marquette, who put up a good fight against Kansas, but the game ended with another sweep by Kansas (25-23, 25-21, 25-16).
able to recover after a timeout and maintain the lead until its 25-23 victory.
Each set had the two birds trading off the lead, with the Jayhawks prevailing in the end of each set. The first two sets were the toughest for Kansas. Marquette was leading in the first set 10-6, but Kansas was
Payne led the team in kills during the sweep of Marquette with 15, but Dockery and Rigdon were close behind at 13 and 12, respectively. Havili had nearly every assist of the game with 46, as the team totaled 48, and also put eight kills onto the board.
Marquette quickly took the lead in set two at 7-4 and then at 10-7, but Kansas fought back to claim and keep the lead. The team put together a combined 17 kills, a little less than the first set's 20, to help win the set 25-21.
Wait played great defense and posted 14 digs, but Rigdon continued with her newfound defensive skills and added on seven digs along with her 12 kills.
"I've been working really
hard on my defense lately," Rigdon said after the match, "I'm really proud of myself for getting that many digs."
Rigdon, who broke her career best of nine digs with her 15 digs in the first match, received tournament MVP, her first MVP award of her career. "[Winning tournament MVP] means a lot," Rigdon said, "It means so much to me. I am really excited."
Kansas will take its undefeated record into next weekend, as it plays host to South Dakota State, Gonzaga and Missouri State at the Javhawk Classic.
If the Jayhawks win just the first two matches, they will go down in history as the team with the longest winning streak to start a season, passing up Bechard's 2000 and 20001 teams at 9- and 10-straight wins, respectively.
