I used to watch Matt Biondi swim. I remember telling my mom about him when I was younger. That's one of the things that keeps me going. It would be something great to be a part of. Matt has competed in football and track, however, he feels swimming is by far the most difficult to practice.
Swimming is one of the most demanding sports.
I guess there have been times I got down about something. Most swimmers, even some of the great ones, even some with full ride scholarships get burned out. Matt is well aware of the competition. He says that it's a mental edge, in general, which separates the good from the great. You gotta think when you swim.
