Michael Phelps To Write New Book

NEW YORK (AP) ― Olympic superstar Michael Phelps will write a book telling the story behind his historic eight gold medal swims just in time for the holiday season, Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Friday.
  
In "Built to Succeed," Phelps will also cover his philosophy on training and competition, as well as his life being raised by a single mother and coping with an attention-deficit disorder, the publisher said.
  
The book is scheduled to be released in December.
  
The 23-year-old Phelps became the winningest Olympian ever at this summer's Beijing games, winning eight golds to add to six previous Olympic first-place victories.

He holds seven world records.
