During her free time, however, she likes to surf, cook and do photography. And, every Wednesday, she goes home to Concord to have a family dinner with her father, Jim, a police sergeant; her mother, Zennie, a paralegal; and her younger sister, Megan. <br>It might seem ironic that a swimmer of Coughlin s caliber is so grounded, but then, maybe it s a large part of her power. She knows, and the world knows, that she has the potential to become the best woman swimmer ever, but she doesn t let the pressure drag her down. Coughlin s firm grip on reality is balanced by an equally buoyant spirit. As she told USA Today reporter Jill Lieber,  If it all ended tomorrow, it d be sad, but I could cope. I ll be a success in life, no matter what. <br>With Coughlin s positive outlook, success is a given. As a swimmer, she has many more miles ahead before she reaches her potential, but as far as maturity goes, Natalie Coughlin has arrived.L4~Tj O\v0*2?Gәpd۸X6ΈBկK+eB)QQ f׃4lćٷL,>PtkЮT}*۵1K75Z[m{v3Z8QTfI0zg'ޮFģ09yJ׊7 ylTd:TI]tZ~r}@wdylO`/Qj~]3 m?m4iC(816\1>lq0=z/|{HIǕ?+w"1G)#d?č4v>PFzb DNqwKV$^<#{I{YE؀2"i EIh}DFYGE7cE FߎNI'=ɢ !< D'+ِIPx|.p_ʙ{=6i(di|2C;ӠM0-)Iȃ\Ps+AU_W%Ӷ!%ISX}r&tQB>zZS|CDAz?FO~}***Ok Ԝ~QGjd$ AK/EKv4OI"i*1a E 8++ZԿ+8˙vT8="t'">qSic@ɾ6;sVS[ǼAZ4hMYtuɌ4đp9^S`<E I&L̬(fP8W8Rc'>l]?WAL+cwPVt 0$|8հCo_:RkE;m9,#rF@k5fK[g^#U}J́16G]@kT$3(9 az!pzŭ}˶6u-&men can be as much as eight times more likely than men to injure the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, which helps stabilize the knee. According to the Americn Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, each year approximately 20,000 high school girls suffer srious knee injuries, most involving the ACL. Several theories have been proposed to determine why women are at such a high risk; here are just a few:<br>" Girls don't usually get involved in sports at a young age, leaving their coordination for sports behind that of males.<br>" Because women have less muscle mass than men, they may rely ore on their ligaments for support than on their muscles.<br>" Awoman's wider pelvis changes the alignment of her lower extremities, causing a woman's thighs to angle inward in a knock-kneed position and the lower legs and feet to turn outwards, putting the lower xtremities in a vulnerable position.<br><br>The BF program specifically develops one of the most important muscle groups in preventing ACL injuries: the amstrings.Researchers have determined that the deadlift and the power clean are great exercises tat work the hamstrings, but for direc work you can't beat the glute-ham raise. A BFS auxiliary lift, the glute-ham raise enables the athlete to work both the knee and hip extensor functions of the hamstrings, unlike the leg curl which only works kee extension or the back extension which only works hip extension.<br>Men have been breaking their own records for centuries. It was once believed that breaking the four-minute mile was impossible Not only was it achieved, bu with each passing year the times became faster. Today, the limits to females' performance are not even in sight.<br><br>Pain and Flexibility Differences<br><br>Studies have shown that women are more apt toreport symptoms of injury than men. Research conducted at the Neurology Research Laboratory at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, shows that the forebrains of women subjects were significantly more active during pain than men's. With the same level of stimulus to the forearm, women reported more pain than men did. 7Vܓu&nPFb \TVB4hUȭ_8]Mtˍ2GC$DZl.Lm,S(-Qjא}/SkmP yx(y(1 _kڢwa]2mE͔f~%I q-6zi7mO p-A Imis\U`V>p&RpGNjSXKIhB]q2f`g>XYH[j*C#\Ua VoSMӴwY q'zp/5ۜOq/@ԵyG}\jZ~]Qn/$+%ԫbʽi^
