JK"Tom Seaver and Bill Gates, among others, have a wife and family. So it is possible to be very dedicated towards a goal and still have some sense of normalcy."
Phelps is 21 or 22 if Im not mistaken. When he retires from swimming at age 26, Im pretty sure that he will have plenty of time to date, find a wife and raise a family. Moreover, he will be able to do so without any of the financial concerns that affect most Americans on a daily basis. On top of that, my guess is that he enjoys what he currently is doing - how many people can say that about our jobs?
