Wade has always come accross as one of the most intense, motivational individuals I have ever known. Who cares if he embelished a little about his mother's knowledge of Montreal '76 before the IOC even named it as a host city.....she probably also taught him to never let the facts get in the way of a good story, right? He's not too good at math though....4 years AFTER 1st grade is 5th grade not 4th....that is unless he was held back a year.

It says on the bottom he was on his way to dominate in 76? ... but he never medalled at a world championships before then if he was so good? Does he have other accomplishments? Loved the interview just dont know much about him.

pretty interesting that his mother knew Montreal would host the Games two years before the IOC named the host site.

If you read the biography at the bottom of the page it says that he broke his neck in the Olympic trials finals

I wasn't sure about this guy right up to the very end. I love the idea of setting your sights as high as you can, it's all about expectations.
