My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, You can become an Olympic champion. And thats the first time that Id heard someone else say that to me. I was like, Uh, are you talking to me? – Ryan Lochte
I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate. – Ryan Lochte
No matter what, like, I couldnt – I could break a world record, get an Olympic gold medal, and my mom would be, like, you could have done better. But you looked pretty. Thats what she says all the time. – Ryan Lochte
When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night. Wed play this game of find Pluto or find Donald Duck. Hed read us stories and do all the voices. Those are great memories. – Danica McKellar
