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.y accomplish the objective, which should be to develop strength and improve mechanical movement. It s also important to distinguish between sprint drills and mobility exercises. A mobility exercise may look like a sprint drill, but it s really just working the full range of movement in the hip joint.<br><br>BFS: Regarding injuries, I understand Dr. Michael Ripley works with your athletes. How has he helped your program?<br>DS: I ve known Dr. Ripley for more than five years, and he is undoubtedly the best sports doctor I have had the pleasure to work with. We ve incorporated a great many of his ideas into our program; his breathing techniques for stretching are especially valuable. I would estimate some athletes I have worked with have boosted their performances by two- to three percent from following his guidelines. In my area of coaching the sprints and hurdles, that can be the difference between being first or coming in last in your event final. Dr. Ripley uses his modified active release techniques to enhance muscle functioning and also to expedite rehabilitation of injury.<br><br>BFS: What problems do you encounter with your freshman sprinters?<br>DS: A sprinter needs to have equality between their front-side and backside mechanics. What I find is that due to a lack of basic strength, our younger sprinters often have developed significantly greater backside mechanics, reducing front-side mechanics. As a result, braking action increases, severely restricting force application as they sprint down the track at maximum velocity.<br><br>BFS: Some coaches believe that by the time an athlete reaches college, many technique flaws are so ingrained that they are virtually impossible to correct. Do you agree?<br>DS: Not at all. When we get a new person in, it s exciting to see that there are things we can do to help them improve. Of course there s no denyi'ӊLTQ&:T~ %i UB@~=J>=Jz 6A@~=J>=Jz 6A@~=J>=Jz 6A@~=J>=Jz 6A@~=J>=Jz 6A@~=J>=Jz 6A@~=dmڀ(z _AWvj6mGIammKQWvj(h(((((((((((((J(hJ(hJ(hJ(hJ(hJ(hnd after results of the BFS program from November  97 to March  98.<br>Keep in mind that these changes are big!

They also hope to win the Division 2 High School State Championships this year, a competition in which they placed fourth last year.
