- 2013 RIO DE JANEIRO - LAUREUS SPORT FOR GOOD FOUNDATION - 26 - SWIMMING SESSION AT ROCINHA SPORTS CENTRE Michael lead a swimming clinic at Rocinha featuring elements from the Michael Phelps Foundation’s ‘im’ programme. ‘im’ stands for individual medley, one of Michael Phelps’ most celebrated events, and it also reflects ‘I am’ which is a focus of the approach of the programme which tries to increase the self-confidence of the young people who attend. He talked to some of the youngsters about the basic principles of his Olympic success – Dream, Plan, Reach. At the <strong>Laureus</strong> Awards Ceremony Michael was presented with a new Award – the <strong>Laureus</strong> Academy Exceptional Achievement Award. He said: “This is all a dream come true for me. I woke up with a dream as a kid to be the best that I could be and to be able to win this Award is amazing. To have the members of the Academy vote for this and give me this, I’m really at a loss for words.” “It has been an amazing career and it is crazy to think that it is over. But I’ve done everything that I wanted to do in the sport. I wanted to change swimming and take it to another level, and I have. But I will continue to be a part of the sport and continue to help grow the sport of swimming. That is a goal of mine and a passion of mine.”
