Michael Phelps Is Sleeping In An Altitude Chamber To Train For The Summer OlympicsReported by Business Insider on Monday, 7 May 2012 (on May 7, 2012)

 This summer Michael Phelps will compete in his third summer Olympics. You might think an athlete that has already won 16 medals, including 14 gold, and earned tens of millions of dollars in endorsements, would have trouble finding motivation to train.
And you're right.
In this fascinating piece on 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper spent some time with Phelps, where the swimming champion admits he hit rock bottom and often wants to quit.
But somehow he found his second (third?) wind, and is now gearing for London.
On the next few pages we will take a look at the life of Michael Phelps and how he is getting ready for what will likely be his last major competition.
-The story opens with Anderson Cooper telling us how hard the last three years of Michael Phelps' life has been, but that he is "ready to make history"-
-Digging the socks-
-A typical day for Phelps begins at 6:20 in the morning, even on Saturdays, with Cooper saying he hasn't been this committed since the last Olympics-
