What:
Adelphi University is proud to host an exclusive program with Olympian Michael Phelps, the day his book No Limits: The Will to Succeed goes on sale. This event, co-sponsored by Adelphi's Student Government Association, will take place in the University's new state-of-the art Center for Recreation and Sports.
Phelps is being lauded by many as the greatest athlete of all time with his history-making performance at the Beijing Olympics, setting new records for all-time gold medals won and gold medals won in a single Olympics. No Limits: The Will to Succeed includes insights from the Beijing Games, the pool, and the team, giving readers an up-close view of Phelps's record-breaking performance. Phelps will also share anecdotes about his family, his coach, his passion for the sport, and lessons learned from unexpected challenges and obstacles. This special event will be an inspiration not only for fans of great, dramatic moments in sports, but also for a wider audience of fans who will take inspiration from a man and his determination to succeed.
Audience members may have a chance to ask Phelps questions during a Q&A session. Signed copies of No Limits: The Will to Succeed will be available for sale at the event.
