No thing..
But injuries and poor decisions killed her
Probably shouldnt have gone to college and should have turned pro early like phelps.. But even still the benefit of college should have been working on her biggest weaknesses because of how important they are in that format
But her college coach didn't even really have her swimming her best events, 100 and 200 back
Even though phelps went pro early, when his coach took over at a college gig (michagen in the past and then Arizona state recently), phelps went with him
She's regressed in everything.. She has the 200 back word record, but that don't mean ish cause she won't be anywhere near it.. Let alone the medals
While I say all of that negatively about missy going to college at cal.. I actually think it could be a great move for ledecky going to Stanford
She'll be training with sprinters currently on the US women's team (so she can work on her speed work against world class talent).. She can improve her turns because the distance events in college (short course yards) have a crap load of turns so you better be good at them
good stuff, man. do you swim yourself? seems like you follow the sport pretty closely, regardless. appreciate the info
