From learning to love the water at just 3 years old — the result of accidentally falling into a pool — to reaching the height of Olympic success, Ryan Lochte owns the story of a true athlete who is willing to put in the work to be the best and who always push further than most might think is possible.

In this episode, Lochte — the second-most decorated swimmer in Olympic history — talks about his love of swimming, as well as his journey to gold-medal greatness in the sport. He also shares how he stayed mentally tough, the strategies he used to achieve his goals, and the ways he's now mentoring new generations of aspiring swimmers.
