In the quarter's first episode of Daily Bruin's sports podcast "Out of Bounds," Sports Editor Sam Settleman sits down with gymnastics beat writers Benjamin Royer, Helene Barnfield, Isabelle Friedman and Genevieve Trimbell to discuss UCLA's upcoming trip to the NCAA championships.

For over 100 years, college athletes couldn't make money competing in their sports. A new NCAA rule around name, image and likeness, or NIL, has changed that. The biggest winners? Gymnasts.Today, we talk to a few current and former gymnasts at UCLA, including Olympians Jordyn Wieber and Jordan Chiles, about how this rule change has affected their lives. Read the full transcript here.Host: Gustavo ArellanoGuests: L.A. Times college sports and NBA reporter Thuc Nhi Nguyen More reading: Once empowered by Title IX, female athletes are now among big winners in new NIL era ‘My medals are my armor.' Jordan Chiles' persistence guides her pursuit of greatness How California paved the way for college athletes to cash in big

In this episode we interview Miss Val on her passion for creating champions in life and not just in the gym. See below for a complete bio and to purchase her book. DOWNLOAD SHOW NOTES HERE Valorie Kondos Field, aka Miss Val, as she's affectionately known by the scores of champion gymnasts she's coached over her career—has no background in gymnastics. She never tumbled, flipped, or played any type of organized sport. And yet she became a legendary, hall of fame coach, through curiosity, creativity, attention to detail, and unwavering care for the overall well-being of her athletes. Head coach of the seven-time NCAA Champion, 22-time Regional and 18-time Pac-12 Champion UCLA Women's Gymnastics team, Miss Val was inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. The four-time “National Coach of the Year” was recently named “West Region Coach” of the Year, Pac-12 Coach of the Year, and “Coach of the Century” for her solid track record as a preeminent coach. Crediting her mentor, legendary basketball coach John Wooden, and the Olympians and athletes with whom she's worked, Miss Val's success is due to her extraordinary leadership and mentorship of young student-athletes, and the way in which she uses gymnastics as an avenue through which to teach valuable life lessons. In her book, LIFE IS SHORT, DON'T WAIT TO DANCE, Miss Val shares personal stories, anecdotes and lessons learned throughout the 37-year career of a dancer/choreographer turned athletic coach. She shares stories about the Olympians and athletes with whom she's worked, explains how her diagnosis with breast cancer actually turned into one of the best years of her life, and expounds on how she shaped her UCLA Gymnastics program as a life skills class. For Miss Val, it's not about winning and losing, it's about choreographing your life< and owning the choices you make. Miss Val is a dynamic speaker and choreographer. She lights up a crowd with her enthusiasm and zest for life, and mesmerizes audiences with her spectacular ability to entertain. And, as a newly retired head coach, she's ready to spread her joy even further.

The odds are always in your favor when you recognize that sometimes you win, always you learn. Kim Anthony, UCLA Gymnastics 4x National Champion, 6x All-American, and author of Unfavorable Odds, joins host Tommi A. Vincent to discuss: • Finding gymnastics and using it as a tool of healing. • The power of her coach seeing her greatness before she did. • Going from pain to purpose. • How fear paralyzes. • Counseling wives of professional athletes.

Our Great Coach on this episode is Valorie Kondos Field. Valerie, or Miss Val as she's more affectionately known, was the head of coach of the UCLA Gymnastics team from 1991 to 2019, leading the team to 7 national and 18 Pac 12 Championships. She was voted NCAA Coach of the Year four times by her peers and in 2016 was voted the Coach of the Century by the PAC12 Conference. Her 2019 TED Talk, titled Why winning doesn't always equal success, has been viewed over 3 million times, and she recently released a best selling book called Life is Short, Don't Wait to Dance. Valerie is a passionate, warm and inspiring person and in this discussion she shares her hard won wisdom on topics ranging from the beauty of imperfection to beating cancer with a mindset focused on gratitude. She embraces her vulnerability and uses it to reflect on her career as a coach where, in her words, shes wishes her athletes could have been led by the coach she was in the last 10 years of her career.

S02E18 Het is women's history month, het zonnetje schijnt op beide continenten en ook wij zijn er weer met het laatste nieuws in het vrouwenvoetbal. Deze week dopen wij ons nieuwssegment om naar "nieuws roulette" en staan we stil bij een historisch moment in Rio de Janeiro, ongevraagd advies voor O19 en onze nieuwe vriendin - Pure Eredivisie Vrouwen: de Talkshow. UCLA Gymnastics roemt zich L.I.E.K.E waardig en we merken dat Hass zich beter kan focussen op voetbal, in plaats van turnen. Ook aandacht voor het eerste vrouwen scheidsrechter team in de Colombiaanse mannen competitie en blessures en crowdfunding in the TINN. As usual maken we ook een rondje langs de leeuwinnen en eindigen we met een olympische belofte en opmerkelijk veel transfernieuws. Enjoy!

Life is Short, Don’t Wait to Dance: Inspiration from an UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach SHOW GUEST: Valorie Kondos Field How did a professional ballerina become one of the winningest coaches in NCAA history? Valorie Kondos Field-or Miss Val as she's affectionately known-has never even tumbled, flipped, or ever played any type of organized sports and yet she has been able to craft a legendary coaching career through curiosity, creativity, intention to detail, and unwavering care for the overall well-being of her athletes. For Miss Val, it's not about the X's and O's, it's about choreographing your life and owning the choices you make. Miss Val has shaped her UCLA Gymnastics program as a life skills class, and now she's sharing those same lessons with readers who want to own their destiny. For Miss Val, it’s not about winning and losing, it’s about choreographing your life and owning the choices you make. Her philosophies are timeless. Her coaching style is unorthodox.

Former Middleweight Champion, Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin, joins host Beto Duran in-studio to discuss his new 3-year / 6-fight agreement with DAZN (Da Zone). Announced last Friday, GGG and DAZN have started letting the world know and combat journalist, Lance Pugmire, sits down with GGG, Beto, and GGG's trainer Abel Sanchez to discuss the news. What is the main driver for GGG to make this decision? Is it a chance to regain his championship status, another shot at rival Canelo Alvarez, a chance to pave the path towards life after boxing, or all of the above? Also, one of the most successful sports teams in Southern California (besides the Dodgers and Rams) is... the UCLA Women's Gymnastics team. Their success story has gone viral, and this created an opportunity for intern, Blake Richardson. Learn how Blake approached this opportunity (and others) at the LA Times - a must listen for every young person looking to enter the field of sports journalism.

Oklahoma will face-off against UCLA for the first time since finishing runner-up to them at last years NCAA Gymnastics Championships. Maggie Nichols, Kyla Ross, and Katelyn Ohashi are ready to put on a show. It is going to be a competition for the ages. Yul Moldauer and Sam Mikulak are set to compete at American Cup on Saturday in Greensboro, North Carolina. Sean Melton is back on the senior national team.

In Part 1 of this Podcast Special we have Head Coach of UCLA Gymnastics and orchestrator of THAT viral gymnastics' routine by Katelyn Ohashi, Miss Val Kondos Field. Miss Val and I discussed; how she was a ballerina originally but transitioned into coaching in gymnastics, the culture of gymnastics in the United States and how it has gone rotten, we unpacked her philosophies that have been galvanised by real life experiences such as her battle with cancer, her book "Life is Short Don't Wait To Dance" and of course we spoke about Katelyn Ohashi's unbelievable routine. Next week, Katelyn herself will join us on the podcast. Miss Val had a long and successful career in ballet. She studied classical ballet and piano for 17 years. Her first transition into gymnastics came by first becoming hired to play piano for floor routines before moving into coaching. Miss Val sees her job much more as a life skills coach, a mentor than a coach. Coaching is all about motivating change, not dictating change. Coaching from the ego takes the joy out of learning. Miss Val explains her philosophy, her faith and values and how she believes gymnastics teaches discipline like no other sport. Using success in sport as a platform to spread a message with impact. Example of the voice that Michael Phelps has now in spreading message about depression. Miss Val discusses the role of her parents and in particular being brought up without a fear of failure, how this now influences her coaching style and successes. Initially Miss Val quickly made some lessons in coaching after some mistakes and losses. The importance of a shared philosophical base with her athletes and fellow staff. One of Miss Val's lessons in leadership is to surround yourself with people that you trust, rid your ego and when the time is right, allow your team to act and take charge with freedom. Gymnastics is in recovery and Miss Val states the need to educate coaches and parents Miss Val speaks of the abuse cases in US gymnastics and offers some of the issues within the US culture and systems. Miss Val's reports that UCLA alumni all reported that they are stripped of a voice, made into robots and verbally and physically abused. "The after" - athletes report that after you are no longer able to win medals and money, you are forgotten about and no longer valued as people or as athletes. Miss Val discusses the conversations she has had with senior figures in changing American culture, not just sport and gymnastics. Active listening, high performance habits and getting out of the desert so that you can better serve other people. Gratitude is a critical component to UCLA's gymnastic success and is engrained into their daily practice. Life is an adventure that requires you to learn, adapt and move fast Miss Val shares with us the moment she was told she had an aggressive form of breast cancer. Miss Val shares her insanely positive and infectious outlook on being diagnosed with cancer and of her trips to the chemo spa! Val describes how she used time at chemo spa to plan for her next ventures including her book "Life is Short Don't Wait To Dance". Miss Val tries to bring out childlike qualities in her athletes and their routines, first, by helping them find their unique voice. The best performers are joyful, spontaneous and loving in what they do. Steve and Miss Val discuss Katelyn Ohashi's phenomenal routine that recently went viral Katelyn's evolution into the woman embodies her journey and pays tribute to significant influences. Miss Val shares why she believes Katelyn's routine has gone viral. What is next for Miss Val? Retirement, the transition of her identity, learning and experiencing new things. @officialmissval http://officialmissval.com/ Supporting Champions on Twitter www.twitter.com/support_champs Steve Ingham on Twitter www.twitter.com/ingham_steve Supporting Champions on Linkedin, www.linkedin.com/company/supporting-champions Instagram https://www.instagram.com/supportingchampions/ A reminder if you're keen to pre-register for the next wave of Graduate Membership enrolments then you can do so at https://supportingchampions.co.uk/membership/ If you're looking for some coaching support or some virtual team development help to support you to get to the next level in work, life or sport then take a look at https://supportingchampions.co.uk/coaching-mentoring/ or drop us a note at enquiries@supportingchampions.co.uk then you can sign up for a free consultation to explore which package is right for you.

This week’s conversation is with Valorie Kondos Field, often referred to as “Miss Val.”She’s the head coach of the six-time NCAA Champion, 21 NCAA Regional Champion and 17-time PAC 12 Champion UCLA Women’s Gymnastics team.Valorie was recently named the Pac-12 “Coach of the Century,” and in 2010, she became one of only two active coaches to be inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame.She considers the late John Wooden, the legendary and most successful collegiate basketball coach of all time, as one of her inspirations, and closest mentor and friend.Countless student-athletes praise Valorie for her guidance during their athletic careers, and after they’ve graduated from UCLA and have entered the next chapter in their lives. Included in the hundreds of athletes she has coached or mentored are Olympic champions Simone Biles, Jordan Wieber, Kyla Ross, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez and Nastia Liukin.For Valorie, life is a grand adventure that all comes down to choices.The moment she found out she had breast cancer is a prime example of the way she chooses to live her life.In essence, she became grateful that her form of cancer was treatable. Grateful that she could go get chemotherapy for it and she’s continued to live her life that way ever since.In this conversation, we discuss why she doesn’t believe in failure, why being a pessimist is the easy way out, and why gratitude is the most important habit to train.Valerie has an infectious personality and this incredible mindset that, “I get to…” rather than “I have to…” and I think it’s something we can all apply to our own lives.I think you’re really going to love learning from her.This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.Receive a free 20-count travel pack of Athletic Greens (valued at $99) with any purchase!Claim here: athleticgreens.com/findingmasterySupport for Finding Mastery also brought to you by Health IQ:Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and more.Learn more and get a free quote at healthiq.com/findingmastery
