Grandma's encouragement,

This review is from: Michael Phelps (Amazing Athletes) (Paperback)
This book can help a youngster understand the purpose of learning a sport and pushing a little harder than usual. My grandson finally realized why he was swimming laps and has helped him be a better swimmer. He's to young to read "Under the Surface" by himself, but he will grow into that book also.
