Michael Phelps recently talked about the immense contributions of his former coach Bob Bowman. Bowman was instrumental in making Phelps the formidable swimming sensation that he is right now.

Phelps praised Bowman's skills as the latter continued to train future swimmers at the University of Texas. He wished the best for his coach, as he wrote in one of his Instagram stories,

"The best. Thy ©coach_bowman! It was a FUN ride! Fun to watch the next chapter!!"

In another interview with Gulf News, Phelps revealed how Bowman trained him for under-race situations, so that he could handle the pressure better. In his words,

"Every single day, our coach Bob is giving us certain challenges to prepare us for the moment those lights come on. The most pressured situations. That’s why Léon and I have been able to rise above the rest. Because Bob has literally put us through every possible situation".

Michael Phelps went on to win a staggering 28 Olympic medals, including 23 Olympic gold medals, thanks to the tutelage of Bob Bowman. Apart from being the head coach at the University of Texas, Bowman also mentors French swimmer Leon Marchand.
