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.T$9J@VkY8, cQ(b+Jֲ-3YGRKtd:,:sX.lS㕞;c`+#~S3.tuxs`:M\ntdO3߽[EU@:S?zPzjJ-K32k`GְbVcj3423N)JKLYz=ŵ1F=]p;R\}199Y(F5s\>xЊuv bL| U& !*7V%1k( y[Wqq(#5Qy~EG&oeq}uǹp2qk΁^5q{:UG_Z [^Sr2~Ri̝KqN»-QUM|!j"I:TIL L@ >@ĜfY_ƕeN907`'H `z cF 2x`>1:TCA{SPbv ZcKQa ˏ&O@?*@;a#$R=( QE"w\)p߭S4g,39-ddEP6A%1E"Xԁr*6|@\P#?/e*G E |xOJ(C3rUڊ(3L,@CNG4Ĝ{QE7w8i?֊) \(sed,  Wes Barnett (national champion) and Dennis Snethen have helped greatly. I'd like to give them credit. <br>Whitney lifts twice per week during her softball season and states with conviction,  You are not going to get big muscles from the way I train. I've lost body fat and gained muscle. My clothes are not as tight and I'm faster and a lot stronger and more flexible. I believe I have improved my looks through lifting. I just want to hit them over the fence and I want to gun'em at home. That's the best feeling. <br>Whitney is majoring in athletic training and wants to be a strength coach.  Coach Cros has built my confidence. He threw me into coaching here with some of our athletes and at clinics. I've really enjoye
