    A California man thought he would die when he fell off his fishing boat and into the frigid Pacific Ocean โ€” but a friendly harbor seal showed up in the nick of time and helped get him to safety.

    Scott Thompson, a sea urchin diver, blamed a lapse in judgment for the mishap that sent him falling off his boat into the Santa Barbara Channel in the middle of the night last month.

    โ€œI thought to myself, โ€˜Great, this is how Iโ€™m going to die. Today is the day Iโ€™m going to die,โ€™โ€ Thompson, who was wearing nothing but his shorts and T-shirt at the time, told KABC-TV.

    What is the definition of commitment?

    Listen to Wayne Goldsmith tell this epic story coaching on deck with David Marsh while watching Ryan Lochte.

    “The difference between an athlete that’s committed and not committed is the difference between choosing the easy way vs the hard way…” – David Marsh

    Towards the end of this clip Wayne says, “If it is to be, it’s up to me.” Which is exactly what Lenny Krayzelburg said s his life’s motto.
