Olympic Gold medalist Michael Phelps is hoping for a chance to compete in what he says will be his last participation in the Olympics. Seems odd to say, but it’s not a given that he will representing team USA in the water in RIO this summer. But with 22 medals to his name, how is that not possible? In this commercial for Under Armour, Phelps tells ADWEEK how much it meant to him:

“To have a spot done like this one was, it’s remarkable. It shows the raw things I’ve gone through to get to the point where I’m at. And that’s something a lot of the public hasn’t seen.  It brought tears to my eyes, it brought tears to [fiancée] Nicole’s eyes. My mother, without question, tears—multiple times during the commercial. And the music makes it, too. I think it’s a deep commercial, and it’s really incredible how they did it.”
