Schweizer, Coburn, Frerichs. Most of the elite American women were significantly undertrained in high school. Yes. Houlihan was another. Houlihan didn't dope until years after college. I know that facts always disturb you.
None of you know how "little" these athletes train. You aren't following their careers when they are mediocrities. "Undertraining" is merely offered as a later rationale when they show a sudden spike in their performances. It is curious though to see the frequent correlation between "talent" and "undertraining". The mediocre are the ones who seem to train hard.
