Michael Phelps will write a book telling the story behind his historic eight gold medal swims just in time for the holiday season, Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Friday. In "Built to Succeed," Phelps will also cover his philosophy on training and competition, as well as his life being raised by a single mother and coping with an attention-deficit disorder, the publisher said. I watched some of his games. I just so moved to see his big grin on the podium. I am proud for him. He was labeled as too active cannot focus when he was young. His determination and help from his family and coach made him the golden boy in history.
