Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and interview many of the world’s top athletes and champions.
While their greatness had more to do with their inner characteristics than their ability to touch their toes, I’d be out-of-touch if I completely overlooked the physical conditioning of the great ones. To this day, Michael Jordan looks like he could put a jersey on and make an NBA roster. Michael Phelps’ superior physique was ideal for making historic Olympic splashes but his discipline in achieving strong health and endurance can’t be ignored.
