About the Book:Golden Girl
was written by Michael Silver and Natalie Coughlin. It is a story mainly about three characters: Natalie Coughlin, Teri Mckeever, and Michael Silver. It would be impossible to put their names in any order of importance to this story because if any one of these names was not part of this book, the story could not be told, thereby making, "Golden Girl" impossible to complete.
Silver’s book is a story about Natalie Coughlin, who became one of the most talented female swimmers of her time. It is also a story about Natalie’s coach, University of California’s very own, Teri Mckeever and her commitment and ability to perfect Natalie’s strengths, which in time took her to the highest wins in competitive swimming. Through Natalie’s courage, elegance, and her desire to move forward and beat the unbeatable records previously set in Olympic Swimming, Natalie earned two gold medals, two silver medals, and one bronze. "Golden Girl", also tells of how Natalie managed to achieve the best overall performance by an American female swimmer in Olympic History.
