1 Training Natalie Coughlin SPEED RACER By Teri McKeever with Michael J. Stott Reproduced from Swimming Technique April-June 2003 The Teri McKeever/Natalie Coughlin combo has proven to be a potent partnership for both Cal-Berkeley as well as USA Swimming. I call Natalie Speed Racer and with good reason. Not only does she currently hold 22 world and American records, but also I can t ever remember telling her to pick it up. In fact, she s been picking it up and putting it down on the world s best swimmers ever since she returned from a shoulder injury that undermined her chances for a spot on the 2000 Olympic team. Natalie came to Cal with a well-deserved reputation and an impressive distance training base gained under Coach Ray Mitchell at Terrapins (Concord, Calif.). One of the great favours Ray did Natalie was to ground her fundamentally in all four strokes and challenge her to stretch herself. She also arrived with a need to regain her confidence. People forget that in 1998, Natalie had qualified for nationals in every event at every distance and was touted as one of the bright stars in U.S. swimming. I give her credit. Eighteen months of rehab produced a lot of doubt and pain but she persevered aggressively in hopes of returning to an elite level. One of the positives of that experience is that now she really listens to her body. IDEAL CHOICE She will tell you that Cal has been an ideal choice. Our philosophy of power and technique suits her creative mind. We mix and match dryland and swimming components. Among other things, we do yoga and weights twice a week as well as spinning, running and medicine balls. In fact, one of Natalie s favourite routines is a pool circuit that includes four or five rounds running 15 metres and diving in, then sprinting seven strokes, getting out and doing push-ups and jumping rope, sculling 50 metres long course while standing on a kickboard, then diving into a 15-metre sprint off the blocks followed by an easy swim. We probably do up to 50% technical work in any given training session. I don t think drilling necessarily means low intensity. For us, it s a combination of drilling, kicking, paddle work and kick swimming. A lot of her quality efforts are done kicking or kick swimming. Earlier in her career, she had experienced success with that. We had gotten away from it a bit and now we have gone back to it. One of things that works well for the two of us is the sense of partnership borne of mutual trust and respect. She is very clear about communicating her needs. She has to coach me to be the best coach for her. We have very similar personalities. It s good in
2 the sense that I know how important it is for me to have space to myself. I can see it in her face when she needs some space, too. My role is to coach the whole person not just the swimmer because the whole person comes to train every day not just the swimmer. She is also very good about processing technical information, taking it in and working with it. She has made some technical stroke changes. Previously, she was very linear with most of her strokes, especially as she fatigued. She had tried to round her strokes more in an attempt to relieve pressure on her joints. She gets information from a lot of different sources and uses what fits. Because of her shoulder recovery, she arrived at Cal ready and open to embrace both technical and training changes. That mindset was a huge asset and it allowed her to build on what she had done before. Essentially, she looked upon it as a refinement and opportunity to take advantage of the training resources available in a university setting. She is very purposeful in her training. She knows what she needs to do and she just does it from the moment she gets in for warm-up to the moment she gets out. She is very aware of how her training such as the yoga and spinning will affect her technique and how it integrates to allow her to be the best athlete possible. You don t have to explain that to her. In a college setting, Natalie benefits from the team environment and the weekly racing. She is extremely competitive. We rarely talk about times. Rather, we talk about goals in technical terms such as working breakout cycles, hitting the 15-metre mark and taking the proper number of kicks underwater. We do a lot of things that are not time-related, especially in a taper mode. We will go back and rehearse pieces of her race and maybe do 15 fast turns mixed in with easy swimming. We try to do a little bit of long course all year. FOCUSED ON THE PROCESS I don t think she is as wrapped up in winning as much as she is in the process of getting better. If she keeps improving, the times will take care of themselves. What is important is swimming well, developing, refining and practicing an arsenal of skills to advance her training. It is not about volume it s about training to activate those skills under stress, pressure and fatigue. That s how I think she will get better. Preparing for the Olympics is a 15-to-18-month goal. It s important to have a plan for that time, but also to break the march into manageable pieces. That includes the rest as well as the work. She has a good balance in her life. She needs mini- as well as long breaks. Together we plan her breaks to give her time to enjoy the experiences be they weekends or trips with a boyfriend or family stuff. I think she needs time away. It s about taking care of the whole person and Natalie is good at that. Our college schedule allows her to take Wednesday afternoons off and she treats it as a me day and a mid-week recharge. She often goes home where she has a great support network. There she washes laundry, sees Jake (her Boxer) and her family and gets an emotional and spiritual recovery. It makes a real difference in how she feels about what she is doing. And these days winning is what she does best. She closed the summer with sparkling performances at U.S. Nationals and Pan Pacs. She has carried that momentum throughout the collegiate season culminating with the NCAAs, where last year she set four individual American records and this year she set another.
3 Natalie enjoys the view from the top of the podium. It s a nice perspective for a young woman who acknowledges she has a real opportunity to lead and inspire members of the national team.
