Praise for this book
['The Golden Rules'] stands apart for its humility. [Bowman] has no secrets and knows of no shortcuts. Mostly he obsesses about simplicity. For Phelps and Bowman’s other elite swimmers … the most important [goal] is producing the best possible performance at the next practice, and the one after that, and the one after that.
The Wall Street Journal
