Seven-time gold medalist swimmer Caeleb Dressel talks pressures of the Paris Olympics spotlight in and out of the pool
Seven-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Caeleb Dressel has punched his ticket to the Paris Games this summer. "It'll be a good one. Number three. This is crazy," Dressel told ABC News after touching first in the men's 100-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials last weekend. The 27-year-old opened up about the pressures of being in the spotlight and living up to expectations both in and out of the pool. "I can train all day long. You can put me in some some tough practices. I will make it out of the practice. I love it," he said. "I'm not designed for media and lights and cameras, and the opinions of others. I worry too much about what other people think, to be quite honest."
