In this episode of Forever a Golden Bear, Natalie Coughlin Hall, Cal women’s swimming’s most decorated alumni, shares with us her remarkable journey from becoming one of the most victorious female olympians of all time, to her introspective transition into her post-sports career as a vintner and co-founder of Gaderian Wines. In this discussion, Natalie shares high-performance insights on treating obstacles as an opportunity to learn; how staying mentally present in challenging moments both increases effectiveness and makes arduous tasks seem to elapse quicker; and how the sensibilities of earned confidence and a growth mindset have served her in her career as an author and a co-founder of a Napa Valley winery.
