Michael Phelps with AD/HD

Michael Phelps as a child in elementary school could not stay quiet, couldn't sit still in circle time. He also could not keep his hands to himself, and would always mess with the kids around him.
Teachers of Micheal Phelps were frustrated at Micheal because he would always disobey them and go the other way.

However, with AD/HD Michael Phelps in grade school excelled in things he held most dearly at the time, Gym and hand-on lessons. His mother Deborah Phelps had to encourage Michael Phelps daily to complete his school assignments. As a student in the academic field Michael Phelps did not excel. However with the deficit in that field he worked hard and excelled at others.

Michael Phelps was not always a good swimmer. He played many sports, and could not make up his mind on what to focus on. Even at Michigan state, Phelps was not a phenomenal swimmer. However as the years went by, the one thing Micheal Phelps loved the most swimming became the focus of his life. This focus came from all those years of hard work Micheal Phelp's mom put into him. Eventually Michael Phelp's hard work paid off, and he moved on and won multiple medals at the Olympics.
