[COLOR="#2F4F4F"][SIZE=5]Missy Franklin to swim her first major meet as a professional at the world championships[/SIZE][/COLOR]
Something about Missy Franklin seemed different to longtime club coach Todd Schmitz after she turned pro this past spring and returned to train with him in Denver after two years at the University of California.
The star of the 2012 Olympics still shone with the sparkling exuberance and innocence that made her America's teen darling at the London Games, where she won four gold medals, but Schmitz sensed she didn't have the same confidence in her swimming.
"It was real evident right away," Schmitz said last week.
It might have stemmed from her experience at the most important meet of 2014, the Pan Pacific Championships in Gold Coast, Australia, where she won only one medal (bronze) in an individual event after suffering an attack of debilitating back spasms two days before the meet. She was fortunate her back allowed her to compete at all after nearly constant emergency physical therapy.
Schmitz sensed something was missing when he watched her perform in March at the NCAA championships, where she won three individual events and led the Cal women to the team title in her last amateur meet.
"It just wasn't the same confidence she had before," said Schmitz, who began coaching Franklin with the Colorado Stars when she was 7. "Missy's never been cocky, but she's been confident, and I didn't see that, even in the NCAAs. She swam really well, but I didn't see the same kind of fire that I used to see. That's what my goal was, to rekindle that. I knew, having coached Missy so long, that if she truly is having fun and believes in herself, then the sky's the limit."
Franklin leaves Tuesday for a U.S. training camp in Croatia in preparation for this year's most important meet, the FINA world championships Aug. 2-9 in Kazan, Russia. World championships take on added significance the year before an Olympics, but Franklin is guarded about her goals.
"I'm going to have a little bit more of an open mind than usual because of everything that's been going on the past couple months," Franklin said before a two-hour workout Tuesday. "I really feel like we're doing good things here, and that I'm going to be in a really good place going in."
Since the NCAA championships, Franklin turned pro, hiring WME-IMG to represent her and signing with Speedo as a major sponsor. Deciding whether to remain in California to train with her college coach, Teri McKeever, or return to Schmitz in Colorado was "the hardest decision" she has ever made.
"I had planned on staying at Cal," Franklin said. "That's kind of where my life is now. That's where all my friends are. That's where Teri is. I turned professional, signed with my agent which has been awesome but I started to realize the kind of expectations that I was going to have on me and the kind of obligations I was going to have now as a professional athlete. After a lot of conversations and talking to a lot of people, I just felt like I was going through not just a swimming transition, but a life transition. I really felt like doing that at home, where I was surrounded by people I've been surrounded with my whole life being back with my mom and my dad most importantly would be the best option for me.
"But it's been incredibly hard, because all of my friends are out in California. It's been wonderful seeing old high school friends for the summer, so being able to spend time with them has been so special. But it's hard because I feel like I have two homes now, and I've kind of had to choose."
Franklin's results at the Pan Pacs last summer were hardly her fault, but the scary incident showed her how an untimely injury can ruin a year of hard work in an instant. It was the first injury of consequence in her career.
"Two days before the meet started, I went to do a backstroke start and my entire spine locked up and I went into spasm," Franklin said. "I couldn't get out of the pool. Two people had to lift me out. I couldn't walk. I was lying on a table for an hour at the pool, trying to figure out how on earth I was even going to get in a car to get back to the hotel. I thought I was going to have to go to a hospital. I didn't even know what was happening to my body. I couldn't move. That's just terrifying. I'm supposed to race in two days, and I can't move. How am I going to do this?"
She spent most of the next 48 hours in therapy, but she needed to race if at all possible because the results of the meet would determine the U.S. team at this year's worlds.
"Definitely the first road bump in my career, but at the end of the day I qualified in all four events that I needed to for worlds," Franklin said. "That's what matters most."
Franklin has a "huge comfort level" with Schmitz. His first day as a Colorado Stars coach 13 years ago was her first day with the club. But their relationship is different from what it was when she left for Cal two years ago after graduating from Regis Jesuit.
"I really wanted him to realize, I'm not coming back as a 17-year-old," Franklin said, adding that Schmitz was understanding. "I'm coming back as a 20-year-old who has experienced two years of college, who has been on her own, has really been able to develop as a woman and as a person and found this sense of independence. That means the relationship is going to be a little bit different. We really do have this partnership now, and we're really able to communicate well. He knows I know my body a lot better than I did, I know myself a lot more. He's always there to listen, and takes everything I say to heart. We're really able to work on it together."
Franklin hit the peak of her training volume last week, churning out 49,000 meters (more than 30 miles) spread over nine workouts. The taper for world championships began Saturday.
"The goals are kind of between Missy and I," Schmitz said of worlds. "Obviously to have a better performance than last summer. Just building on her confidence and getting her back into a place mentally and physically that she's strong and she believes that she's strong and she believes that she can perform. I truly believe, (if) she gets back mentally in the right spot, then physically it's going to be there."

Schmitz' comments about Missy's "confidence" kind of baffles me. Surely he knows she has grown a lot with her 2 years at Cal and has repeatedly stated she would not trade the experience for anything. I don't know what people expect out of someone who in her first year at Cal gave "one for the team" by swimming a longer distance 500 in lieu of her best strokes (backs). She got over a physical debility in that same period. Her second year showed the true Missy and even when she swam the fastest ever 200 free (1:39), the usual" SwimSwam" haters could not retract their opinions of her. I think Missy misses Berkeley more now and I hope Schmitz lays more positive things on Missy then something like degrading comments about her confidence.

yeah I found his remarks a bit self serving. It shouldn't be just about swimming but her 2 years in college made her a more rounded person. Schimtz makes sound like he is the greatest thing since wonder bread!
Yeah, unfortunate comments. I'm making wild assumptions but Missy, pre-Cal, has always swam against the best but hasn't always practiced with the best. Practicing with the Cal women's swim team is definitely practicing with the best and maybe this daily exposure made her realize that although she is elite, the others are not too far behind. Also, Cal academically can burst any recent high schooler's confidence. We were all at or near the top of our high schools but the first couple of years at Cal are a real humbling experience. Having said that, the great thing about the Cal experience is that you overcome this initial crisis in confidence and you come back stronger than ever and you carry that confidence throughout your life.

Schmitz is playing a pretty dangerous game. Missy swam primarily freestyle at Cal because that's what the team needed. Missy's clearly a better 200 Free swimmer than she was before Cal. If Todd can't re-establish her backstroke, that's on him not Teri. Schmitz has had some good swimmers (Jordan Mattern, Piehl, Naze), but nobody other than Missy on Natalie's, Vollmer's, and Caitlin's level. Teri's legacy is solid and Todd's still a Denver club coach. Not in his best interests to trash Teri or Cal to cover his own ass.
Missy's parents were sitting behind Ledecky's family on Sunday. Makes sense for Ledecky to defer and probably still doesn't make sense for to swim in college at all. She set another world record today and would finish a full minute ahead of All-Americans in the NCAA 1650.

Didn't know where to put this, but there's been some prior discussion about Emily Overholt. Deferred a year from UBC, but if she's got a suit deal already she's ineligible for NCAA swimming. Would have been a huge asset-a Mann/Small hybrid. Curious if pros can still swim for Canadian colleges.

There was some great performances at FINA by a young Swede... can't recall her name right now except last name totally Swedish but first and middle names like "Mie" or something.... It would be great if we could land just one European or Canadian woman swimmer....

Currently 18, holds the [U]Danish[/U] national record in both the 50 & 100m Backstroke, pretty decent in the 100m free as well.
Oh, incidentally also Denmark's fastest 200m freestyler in Short Course Metres...

Yeah, that was my fantasy after the Santa Clara Grand Prix. I was hoping Overholt and fellow Vancouverite Noemie could talk, but obviously that is not happening anymore. Hahaha!
How many of these swimmers can we identify. I see Lauren Boyle, Beisel, and Hardy. One of them is Femke Heemskerk, but I have no idea which one. Is Overholt one of them?

Nice find longseeker! If we don't get Claire, Mie would be a nice back up plan.

[COLOR="#006699"][SIZE=5]Speedo-Sponsored Athletes Enter Fray at FINA World Cup Chartres (Psych Sheets)[/SIZE][/COLOR]
Speedo-sponsored athletes like Ryan Lochte, Missy Franklin and Natalie Coughlin will enter the World Cup fray at the FINA World Cup Chartres stop after missing Moscow for a Speedo photo shoot in Europe this week.
While defending FINA World Cup champion Katinka Hosszu is still on center stage as she's entered every event after taking a huge lead during the Moscow stop, she definitely will have some more competition in France.
For the first time since she first started swimming the FINA World Cup several years ago, Franklin will be able to collect prize-winnings as a new pro. She's entered in the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free, 50 back, 100 back and 200 back.
Lochte is slated to swim the 200 free, 100 back, 200 back, 200 IM and 400 IM.
Meanwhile, Coughlin is scheduled in the 50 free, 100 free, 50 back and 100 back.
Cameron van der Burgh, who leads the men's points race, will swim in the three breaststroke events.

Franklin said in the press conference that she wants to swim more world cup meets. She wasn't able to attend the series before because of her college duties. But having turned pro a few months ago she now has more time because she left the college and she now is allowed also can keep the prize money. Missy's only appearance at a World Cup was in 2011 in Berlin when she set the first short course world record of her young career in the 200 m backstroke.
[COLOR="#696969"]In a short personal interview, Missy said that she hasn't decided yet where she will prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games. At the moment, she is back in Colorado and trains with her longtime coach Todd Schmitz. She is missing her college friends and teammates but of course she loves being home with her parents.[/COLOR]
Last year she suffered a back injury, during the Pan Pacific Games in Australia. That was the first serious health setback that Missy had to cope with in her career and she stated that, even though she is feeling very well again, the injury is often on her mind.

[COLOR="#696969"]Edwin Moses[/COLOR]
Beyond girls having access to quality programs, it is important for them to see positive figures in both the media and their everyday lives to inspire them to stay involved in the game. They can look up to female leaders like Jen Welter, who recently became the first woman to hold a coaching position in the National Football League. They can look up to the US Women's World Cup team, who became national icons. They can look up to women like Laureus Ambassadors Missy Franklin and Tamika Catchings. These two women are examples of females who dominate competitions; Franklin and Catchings have both committed their time to being positive role models for young girls. For example, Catchings founded the Catch the Stars Foundation to "empower youth to achieve their dreams by providing goal-setting programs that promote literacy, fitness and mentoring." There needs to be more individuals such as Franklin and Catchings advocating for female youth participation and retention in sports, acting as positive role models for young girls, and breaking down social stigmas.

[SIZE=4]2015 NCAA Female Swimmer of the Year: [COLOR="#DAA520"]Missy Franklin[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Missy Franklin had always targeted 2015 as her final year of collegiate swimming. With that in mind, the U.S. Olympian went out with a bang.
Franklin went 3-for-3 in NCAA titles, leading the California women to an overall national title, and she came up with arguably the most explosive swim of the meet in her American record 200 freestyle.
A year removed from a disappointing 2014 NCAAs from the Cal women, Franklin led the way to redemption in 2015 as Cal's juggernaut rolled away with the team trophy. It was a breakthrough for Franklin personally as well. After swimming right on the cusp of the 1:40-barrier in the 200 free multiple times as a freshman, Franklin blasted past the barrier in her second and final NCAA season, going 1:39.10 in one of the best races of the entire year.
Franklin rolled the field by more than two full seconds in that race, and her other swims were nearly as dominant. She won the 200 back by 2.4 seconds, going 1:47.91 (and rattling the American record there as well) and took the 200 IM in 1:52.11 outside of her own teammate Liz Pelton, the closest finisher to Franklin in that race was 2.3 seconds back.
In between, Franklin came up with explosive splits on the 400 medley relay (anchoring in 45.9), 200 free relay (21.2), 800 free relay (a field-best 1:40.0) and 400 free relay (a 46.6 leadoff that beat Stanford Olympian Lia Neal).
All in all, Franklin exited the NCAA with the type of national championships showing Cal fans dreamed of when she committed to the Berkeley program back in 2012.

[SIZE=4]2015 NCAA Female Swimmer of the Year: [COLOR="#DAA520"]Missy Franklin[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Missy Franklin had always targeted 2015 as her final year of collegiate swimming. With that in mind, the U.S. Olympian went out with a bang.
Franklin went 3-for-3 in NCAA titles, leading the California women to an overall national title, and she came up with arguably the most explosive swim of the meet in her American record 200 freestyle.
A year removed from a disappointing 2014 NCAAs from the Cal women, Franklin led the way to redemption in 2015 as Cal's juggernaut rolled away with the team trophy. It was a breakthrough for Franklin personally as well. After swimming right on the cusp of the 1:40-barrier in the 200 free multiple times as a freshman, Franklin blasted past the barrier in her second and final NCAA season, going 1:39.10 in one of the best races of the entire year.
Franklin rolled the field by more than two full seconds in that race, and her other swims were nearly as dominant. She won the 200 back by 2.4 seconds, going 1:47.91 (and rattling the American record there as well) and took the 200 IM in 1:52.11 outside of her own teammate Liz Pelton, the closest finisher to Franklin in that race was 2.3 seconds back.
In between, Franklin came up with explosive splits on the 400 medley relay (anchoring in 45.9), 200 free relay (21.2), 800 free relay (a field-best 1:40.0) and 400 free relay (a 46.6 leadoff that beat Stanford Olympian Lia Neal).
All in all, Franklin exited the NCAA with the type of national championships showing Cal fans dreamed of when she committed to the Berkeley program back in 2012.

[COLOR="#006699"][SIZE=5]20 Question Tuesday: Missy Franklin Part 1[/SIZE][/COLOR]
8. Your time at Cal really helped you develop into who you are today and made you ready for the next chapter moving forward and this coming Olympic year, didn't it?
Missy: Absolutely, and I think being part of a team in college, getting that experience, was very important. I had that experience a little from being on National Teams but being with a great group and great coaching staff in college made me appreciate being part of a team even more. And how it was for me at Cal was just something really special for me to experience among the kind of people I respect and care so much for. You are truly inspired by your teammates, and hopefully you make them better. You see them do something amazing, and you want to hold up your responsibility, too. That's also how it was at the Duel; you'd see your Team USA teammates do something for the team and our country, and think, "I want to do that, too." You build off of that. That is something we have in the U.S. on our team that is so special.
9. So college was worth it, right?
Missy: Oh my gosh, 100 percent! I learned so much about so many things. Something that sticks out is handling transition. Teri (McKeever) taught me so much about transitions, and how important it is in life to deal with that. She shows it to us in the pool but also helps us with transition in life - and what you learn in the pool there translates to life. In fact, I think going to college in itself is a major transition, having a new coach, new teammates, new classes - you go through so many changes during your freshman year. I loved being at Cal, being where I was, and who I was with. And I am looking forward to school again!
10. It seems like going two years was really smart because you had that learning curve your freshman year and were able to get it all lined up the second year and ended up winning NCAA titles and a team championship too, right?
Missy: You get to the sophomore year and you think, "All right, I kind of have an idea of what to expect." Teri is always trying new things and doing things differently - mixing things up -- and it works so well. The constant transition keeps you thinking and aware, and prepared mentally to deal with change. That is so important in swimming, and in life. I thought 100 percent then and 100 percent now that going to college for me was the right thing, and those two years were so important and meaningful for me.
11. So coming back to Colorado -- did it feel like home right away, or is the person who came back different so it was sort of new again?
Missy: Being back at this stage in my life, even just being with my family again as an adult now, has been a whole new transition. I am so thankful I had that experience at Cal because it helped me deal with that. So yes, there is that familiarity here with people I care about and love, but it still requires a transition. It's a new experience this time though certainly there are familiarities and similarities - like I love training at altitude! -- that I really enjoy.
12. And your relationships are all different after two years of college, aren't they?
Missy: Yes, exactly, my relationship with my parents, with (Coach) Todd (Schmitz), it's all different. But like I mentioned, Cal was so important in teaching me how to manage change and embracing transition.
15. I heard you are still cheering on your Cal teammates from afar and even have had some visits from your roommate?
Missy: I am definitely still cheering for all my teammates. I am so thankful to have them in my life and the two years there, it is just so special. That's the big reason I wanted to do college -- to meet all those amazing people. It was a dream situation to walk into my college dorm room and be best friends with Kristen (Vredeveld, also a swimmer) from the start, and be like sisters now. It's a special relationship, and she has been so supportive with the change. We had a really good apartment and I miss that! But she's been able to come out a couple of times and that was nice. I definitely miss school, the studying, my teammates, and everything.
19. That transition to being home: I know you love being there, but when fall classes started, was that an adjustment?
Missy: It was. You know, this is my home, and I love it here. But it has been hard because while this is my home, I really did create a brand-new family for myself out at Cal. My apartment, my best friend, my teammates and coaches, other students I was friends with, my classes, going to my favorite coffee shop -- it's hard being away from that. So that dynamic has been very interesting for me to sort through and process. I remind myself all the time though that I get to back. I'll focus on this year, and what I need to work on, and move forward - and I do know coming back here was the right move for me, just like going to Cal was -- and going back to Cal will be again.
20. How much do you miss school itself?
Missy: Absolutely I miss that. I had wonderful classmates and some of the best professors in the world. You know, I took two online classes this semester. I thought, "I am going to have so much time." Now, I don't know what I was thinking! I did classes that are transferable to Cal -- I made sure of that ahead of time. But I also want to be at Cal for the majority of my classes and especially for the classes within my major. That learning environment has to be unlike anything in the world and I am looking forward to being back in it. But it was also nice to get a couple of requirements completed and stay in that mode of studying and thinking, because it's stimulating and a part of who I am in my life now - and will be again moving forward when I am back in school. But yes, I do miss that, especially going to the cafes and studying all weekend. For that part particularly, I didn't realize how much I'd miss it until I was gone and fall term started. So I love being home, but I'll be really excited to go back to Cal and start school again!

[COLOR="#006699"][SIZE=5]20 Question Tuesday: Missy Franklin Part 2[/SIZE][/COLOR]
3. What did you learn about being a teammate at Cal?
Missy: I think respect -- it's all about respecting your teammates. And at Cal, you not only respect them but you really like them. We got along so well. It was just an incredible group of women, and so inspiring to be around them every day.
15. You've mentioned how much you miss Cal, your teammates, the community, the academics, but how much has it helped now to be able to rest at this key time in the quadrennial after workouts, and recover?
Missy: To be able to rest has been so key for me. To be able to go and have a great practice, then leave it all in the pool, and have an amazing rest session, then come home and rest, not worry and take it easy has been huge for me. This was the year to make that choice, even though it certainly is a trade-off and I was very happy at Cal. I am very fortunate and blessed to have had two great options.
16. When I lived in the Bay Area, I could never get over the food when we'd go to San Francisco and Berkeley - was that your experience?
Missy: It's unbelievable! By far what I miss most are my teammates - I am just (laughs) dying without them and I miss them so much! But the food, yes, is unreal. Oh my gosh, I miss that so much!
I have great teammates, had the best time in the world at Cal, and I've been blessed to have great coaches here and in college, and on our U.S. National Teams every time!

[COLOR="#DAA520"][SIZE=5]Missy Franklin's Path to Professional Swimming [/SIZE][/COLOR]
[COLOR="#696969"]By Peter Baugh, Swimming World Staff Writer[/COLOR]
"After how much personal growth I had at Cal, after how much (coach) Teri (McKeever) taught me, after how much my teammates taught me, I really did feel like I was ready for this next stage in my career and this next stage in my life," Franklin said. "I don't think I would've been ready for that without that college experience."
After the Olympics, Franklin plans on returning to California. She would swim with the school team and take classes, but would not be able to compete in NCAA meets.
Though she is thrilled with how training has been in Colorado, she does miss her second home.
"This is without a doubt the largest sacrifice I've ever had to make," Franklin said. "First and foremost, my teammates. Those girls are my family, so being away from them everyday has just been so hard I miss being in a classroom, I miss going to cafes and studying. I miss Berkeley and its atmosphere I need to keep reminding myself that I'm going to be back there in the fall. My college experience is far from over. I have a lot to look forward to."

[COLOR="#000066"][SIZE=5]Missy Franklin Returns To Cal For Honda Cup Ceremony [/SIZE][/COLOR]
Franklin said she plans to return to Cal as a student in the fall of 2016 after this summer's competition.
"I miss being here so much," Franklin said. "I can't wait to be back in the fall. To be back in the fall and finish up with my degree, I could not be more excited."

Glad to hear that Missy is coming back to Cal in the Fall to finish her degree, but the timing seems a little off. Would think she'd have a lot of promotional obligations post-Olympics and wouldn't have enough time to be a full time student, train, and juggle her professional obligations until January. Perhaps less than a full load? Regardless, props to her for wanting to finish her degree.
I was thinking about how many classes she might be taking, but she does not need to take a full load so she still can meet her professional obligations. As she said, "She misses Cal and her friends" dearly. Remember she is still fairly young. She can have the best of both worlds. Maybe some day she could be a "Swim Assistant or Volunteer Coach"? Could maybe help recruiting.

[COLOR="#ff0099"][SIZE=5]Olympian Missy Franklin's Memoir Jacket Revealed – See the Stunning Cover![/SIZE][/COLOR]
Swimming star Missy Franklin knows what it takes to become a champion. And the dedicated athlete is ready to share her inspiring journey in her new memoir.
In PEOPLE's exclusive cover reveal of the four-time Olympic gold-medalist's book, Relentless Spirit: The Unconventional Raising of a Champion, due out on [U]December 6, 2016[/U], the athlete looks just as fierce and captivating as she does before a competition.
The family memoir tells the story of Franklin's journey to swimming superstardom and was written by Franklin, 20, and her parents, D.A. and Dick Franklin.
"This book isn't just about swimming. Yes, swimming is a big part of it, but it's ultimately a story about our family, the strong bond we share, and the decisions we've made as a family to get to where we are today," the eleven-time World Champion says. "It's very exciting to tell our story in our own words."
Franklin first captured the world's attention with her youthful joy (and exuberant tweets!) at the 2012 London Games, where she wowed viewers with a record-breaking performance in the 200-meter backstroke.
Her fitting nickname in London was, "Missy the Missile."
Franklin, who is training in Colorado for the 2016 Rio Games, has said it is her dream to become the most decorated female swimmer Olympian of all time.
[U]After Rio, Franklin will return to University of California Berkeley to continue her studies in psychology[/U].
