The Craft of Coaching, An Evening with Teri McKeever, Head Women's Coach, Cal Swim Team

Teri McKeever, Head Women's Coach, Cal Swim Team
The Craft of Coaching

Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at 7 pm PDT

The 29-year head coach of the UC Berkeley women’s swimming and diving team is one of the most successful coaches in the sport. She’s won four national NCAA titles, and her team has been in the top three ten years in a row. She’s coached 26 Olympians, including Natalie Coughlin, Missy Franklin, and Dana Vollmer. She was the first woman to be named head coach of the Olympic team and has served as assistant or head coach for the national team at the Olympics and World Championships many times - including 2021.

But she’s most known for her quirky coaching style—having her athletes dance and body surf and jump rope—and for rehabbing burned out swimmers, like Coughlin.   

“The workout is the easy part,” she said. But refining the craft of coaching has taken her a lifetime.
