Ray Mitchell, head coach of the Concord (California) Terrapins, comments that now no one can stay with her in the 100-yard events because she stays underwater for approximately 60 percent of the race.<br><br>Brains Before Brawn<br><br>With her injury healed, Coughlin resumed her training and concentrated on her studies. When it came time to select a college, her choice was Berkeley, under the watchful eye of Coach Teri McKeever, the head women s coach at Cal Berkeley. Last year McKeever was named  Coach of the Year by the American Swim Coaches Association. <br>  There s a tremendous amount of pride at Berkeley, Coughlin offers,   pride in athletics and academics. A certain number of people never miss a football game. When you wear a Cal shirt and walk down the street, people all over yell,  Go Berkeley! It s great to be a part of that. Coach McKeever adds,  Natalie embodies what this university is about. <br>Coughlin has a full plate: on top of her full-time studies, she is committed to a rigorous training schedule that consumes up to five hours of her day (including plyometrics, pull-ups and heavy weight training exercises such as full squats  an individualized, high-tech program developed by Mary Dempsey, a strength coach at Cal). 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. I was amazed at their size and speed. There were about 30 throwers who weighed an average of 270 pounds running between 4.6 and 4.8. Pro football players were not even close to that. I wanted my high school football players back at Sehome High School in the state of Washington to be like those throwers. So when I returned, we parallel squatted like those throwers and practiced sprinting. We timed our players twice per month. We did not do a very good job with power cleans but we were superior at the parallel squat. See Figure #5 and you will see what I mean. Little Greg Frere at a bodyweight of 155 parallel squatted 355 pounds and ran a 4.6 forty. Look at his depth and form: eyes on target and being tall with the chest spread. This photo was part of a story that featured my program at Sehome in the old Strength & Health magazine. We did a good job at only two of the ten components we have today, but we did those very well. It took only a ear to g
