Mark Spitz Sports Quotations

I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win.

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.

One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while

It has nothing to do with swimming. That happens to be my sport. I'm trying to see how far I can go

I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not concerned with tomorrow, but with what goes on today.

It really changed how we do things in sports. Certainly, nothing happened to preplan or expect what was going to happen that day, as opposed to today, when extreme logistics go into planning.

If you're fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail.
