It's time to talk with Gymnastics Royalty as we are welcomed by former UCLA Gymnastics coach, Valorie Kondos Field for a great discussion.

Hi guys! On today's PerformHappy podcast, I'm absolutely thrilled to bring you a conversation with none other than Miss Val—yes, the Valorie Kondos Field, legendary former head coach of UCLA gymnastics. Miss Val led her team to seven national championships and was even named Coach of the Century. She's truly one of a kind, and after spending time with her, I'm ready to sign up for her classes myself. She's that inspiring.In this episode, we dive into what it means to be a true champion. For Miss Val, it's not just about the medals and titles; it's about character, joy, and leaving a positive impact on everyone around you. Champions who grow as people are the ones who win with heart—they bring joy to their work, they smile even through the hard stuff, and they inspire others to push for greatness.Miss Val shares her secrets on building a culture where athletes feel safe, supported, challenged, and motivated to work hard for their dreams. Her approach emphasizes the importance of mental health, leadership, and genuine joy in the journey. There's so much wisdom here on what it takes to lead, to nurture young athletes, and to create an environment where they can thrive. So, grab a notebook, maybe listen twice—this episode is packed with insights that you won't want to miss! Enjoy!In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Valorie Kondos Field talk about:Redefining Success in Gymnastics.How to Become an Effective Leader.Growth Mindset, Respect, and Humble Leadership Tips.Building Trust Through Conversations.Balancing Discipline and Fun in Gymnastics.The Impact of Parental Involvement in Sport.The Role of Failure in Growth. How to Resolve Conflicts.“When athletes know you care about them as a person, not just as a means to boost your own ego, they become more invested and start taking ownership of their journey."– Valorie Kondos FieldValorie Kondos Field's Instagram: https://www.instagram.co

Today's episode focuses on the topic of Coaches as Educators. And I'm joined in the discussion by two great coaches. The first is Valorie Kondos Field. Ms. Val, as she is known, led the UCLA gymnastics team from 1991 to 2019, collecting seven National Championships along the way. She now leads the course "Transformative Coaching: Introduction to Philosophies of Coaching and Leadership" at UCLA. Kirk Walker, the Associate Head Coach of the UCLA Bruins softball team, has a career that started in 1984 and has contributed to six Women's College World Series championships. We cover a lot of ground in this podcast, and some of the highlights for me were: The alter-ego coaches can let their worst side come to the fore. This alter-ego is the person who thinks they have to have all the answers, is black and white on issues, and does not encourage discussion. Keeping this person in check requires you to focus on what success is, and that is Coach Woodens' success: the piece of mind that comes from knowing you did your best and grounding your team in fun. Using sport as a metaphor to educate people about life supersedes the importance of the X's and O's and wins or losses. Therefore, your role as an educator is your "major mission." Influencing people is perhaps the fundamental role of leadership, and when you do this, you are educating people.

Valorie Kondos Field is a true legend. As a former UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams, she's been responsible for shaping the gymnastics program there into not just winning, but teaching life skills that athletes have taken with them off the balance beam, too. Valorie joins us today to speak about her hard-earned career, her life, and her magnificent book, “Life Is Short, Don't Wait to Dance.” This book isn't about winning, rather it's about the one's mindset, and how what's in your head that fuels everything else. And by the way, Valorie was dancer, and NOT a gymnast when she snagged the coaching job at UCLA. We'll ask her about that, too, along with so many other moments that have shaped her life, including lessons learned from her mentor, legendary basketball coach John Wooden. She talks about putting those lessons to the test when faced with some rough times, including her breast cancer diagnosis. There's a lot to cover, and a lot to learn from this maverick. Valorie is currently a successful life coach to some high powered individuals, well ask about that, too. Join us LIVE at 10amPST, and invite your friends, too. Make SURE to pick up her book, it's absolutely magnificent, and I've footnoted some of my favorite parts to talk with Valorie about as well. Thanks for tuning into #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt. And thank you to my dear friend, Terry Hamermesh, for this wonderful introduction

Valorie Kondos Field is the retired head coach of the seven-time NCAA Champion, 22-time Regional and 18-time Pac 12 Champion UCLA Women's Gymnastics team. Inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010, the four-time “National Coach of the Year” was also named “West Region Coach” of the Year and Pac 12 “Coach of the Century” for her solid track record as a preeminent coach. Affectionately known by her gymnasts as “Miss Val,” her reputation is only one reason that 46 former US national team members came through her program and why half of the last two Olympic teams committed to UCLA. Valorie's coaching success can be attributed to her extraordinary leadership and mentorship of young student-athletes, and the way in which she used gymnastics as an avenue through which to teach valuable life lessons, while encouraging individuality and joy. Something Valorie learned from the late John Wooden, the legendary and most successful collegiate basketball coach of all time, who was one of her biggest inspirations, as well as a close mentor and friend. Valorie began her career as a professional ballet dancer and choreographer for the Washington, DC and Sacramento Ballet Companies. Although never a gymnast herself, she's transferred to her student-athletes all she learned in the world of classical dance. The result of which resulted in nearly three decades of coaching one of the premiere athletic programs in any sport, mentoring hundreds of elite athletes, including Olympic champions Jordan Wieber, Kyla Ross and Madison Kocian, among others. Also known as the nation's foremost gymnastics choreographer, Miss Val'smany credits include choreographing and directing a myriad of live variety shows, such as the NCAA Opening Ceremonies for Women's Basketball, a flash mob of famed female athletes and coaches at the inaugural Aurora Games, a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar roast, CBS's “Jump, Jive & Thrive” Breast Cancer Research Foundation benefit, and 26 years of cirque-type shows for SeaWorld's Summer Nights and the San Diego Zoo. Current projects include additional live stage shows, TV specials, events and the development of a theatrical musical, plus the highly anticipated post-Olympic “Gold Over America Tour” featuring an all-star team of female gymnastics champions, headlined by Simone Biles and also featuring Olympian Jordan Chiles and viral sensation, Katelyn Ohashi, which will begin in Fall 2021 and is slated to visit more than 35 U.S. cities, celebrating powerful female athletes in a high-octane, fun-filled experience. She is a dynamic and charismatic speaker with an extensive schedule of“Corporate Coaching” events for national companies including JP Morgan Chase, General Electric, Gucci, AT&T and Jackson National Life Insurance, and has contributed to various panel discussions including Bustle's “Rule Breakers” and the ESPNW Summit. In her TEDWomen 2019 talk, Miss Val inspires people to reevaluate their definition of success. She maintains that real success is developing champions in life, and that in order to motivate success, we need to inspire those whom we lead without compromising the human spirit. As a recent breast cancer survivor, Valorie's positive outlook and hope-filled message is impactful. She empowered her athletes to use their voices, to celebrate themselves, and to enjoy the elite sport that has damaged so many in the past. She also shared her motivating and inspirational messages with the world, with her book, “LIFE IS SHORT, DON'T WAIT TO DANCE: Advice and Inspiration from the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams,” which was released in Fall 2018 by the Hachette Book Group. It expounds on her life philosophy: “Don't wait to see what life is going to hand you, take control of your life and design ~ choreograph it exactly how you want it to turn out.” For more information go to www.marcyllecombs.com

No one likes it.   As a matter of fact, most of us avoid doing it. Mainly because of the pain of rejection.    But the resentment we may feel not doing it can be just as painful.    So what is it? And what can we do to fix it?   Ask.    Muster up all your courage you can and simply ask.    You may get exactly what you want (or not), but at least you'll know.   Source: HRR: UCLA Gymnastics Coach Valorie Kondos Field   Connect with Valorie Kondos Field:    Website: https://officialmissval.com   Instagram: missvalkondos   YouTube: Official Miss Val   Book: Life Is Short, Don't Wait to Dance: Advice and Inspiration from the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams   Previous Episodes:   245 | Valorie Kondos Field: "Whenever You Try To Be Somebody Else You Will Always Be A Second Rate Them."   My Email: mj@depressiondetoxshow.com   Instagram @DepressionDetoxShow.   Hosted by Malikee Josephs (Pronounced Muh leek Jo seffs)

“Practice what you preach,” because that's how you can establish credibility in your words. Credibility is a critical factor when it comes to winning your team's trust in your leadership. Today's guest, Valorie Kondos Field, believes that leaders who do not have credibility don't stand a chance of success in the entrepreneurs' world because credibility is the foundation of trust. Without trust, the business crumbles. Valorie was the head gymnastics coach for the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team from 1991 to 2019, with seven national championship titles on her belt.

Catherine is here today with Valorie Kondos Field. Affectionately known by her gymnasts as “Miss Val,” her reputation is only one reason that 46 former US national team members came through her program and why half of the last two Olympic teams committed to UCLA. Valorie's coaching success can be attributed to her extraordinary leadership and mentorship of young student-athletes, and the way in which she used gymnastics as an avenue through which to teach valuable life lessons, while encouraging individuality and joy. Something Valorie learned from the late John Wooden, the legendary and most successful collegiate basketball coach of all time, who was one of her biggest inspirations, as well as a close mentor and friend. As a recent breast cancer survivor, Valorie's positive outlook and hope-filled message is impactful. She empowered her athletes to use their voices, to celebrate themselves, and to enjoy the elite sport that has damaged so many in the past. She also shared her motivating and inspirational messages with the world, with her book, “LIFE IS SHORT, DON'T WAIT TO DANCE: Advice and Inspiration from the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams,” which was released in Fall 2018 by the Hachette Book Group. It expounds on her life philosophy: “Don't wait to see what life is going to hand you, take control of your life and design ~ choreograph it exactly how you want it to turn out.” Find Out More About Valorie Kondos Field Visit Valorie's Website Connect with Valorie Kondos Field on Facebook Follow Miss Val on Instagram @missvalkondos It's now time to tune into this one very inspirational human being.

There are so many pearls of wisdom to be heard and vulnerable moments shared straight from the heart. ENJOY! Valorie is the retired head coach of the seven-time NCAA Champion, 22-time Regional and 18-time Pac 12 Champion UCLA Women's Gymnastics team.

Affectionately known by her gymnasts as “Miss Val,” her reputation is only one reason that 46 former US national team members came through her program and why half of the last two Olympic teams committed to UCLA. Valorie's coaching success can be attributed to her extraordinary leadership and mentorship of young student-athletes, and the way in which she used gymnastics as an avenue through which to teach valuable life lessons, while encouraging individuality and joy. Something Valorie learned from the late John Wooden, the legendary and most successful collegiate basketball coach of all time, who was one of her biggest inspirations, as well as a close mentor and friend. Valorie began her career as a professional ballet dancer and choreographer for the Washington, DC and Sacramento Ballet Companies. Although never a gymnast herself, she's transferred to her student-athletes all she learned in the world of classical dance. The result of which resulted in nearly three decades of coaching one of the premier athletic programs in any sport, mentoring hundreds of elite athletes, including Olympic champions Simone Biles, Jordan Wieber, Kyla Ross, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez and viral sensations Katelyn Ohashi and Nia Dennis, among others. Also known as the nation's foremost gymnastics choreographer, Miss Val's many credits include choreographing and directing a myriad of live variety shows, such as the NCAA Opening Ceremonies for Women's Basketball, a flash mob of famed female athletes and coaches at the inaugural Aurora Games, a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar roast, CBS's “Jump, Jive & Thrive” Breast Cancer Research Foundation benefit, and 26 years of cirque-type shows for SeaWorld's Summer Nights and the San Diego Zoo. Current projects include additional live stage shows, TV specials, events and the development of a theatrical musical, plus the highly anticipated post-Olympic “Gold Over America Tour” featuring an all-star team of female gymnastics champions, headlined by Simone Biles and also featuring Katelyn Ohashi, which will begin in Fall 2021 and is slated to visit more than 35 U.S. cities, celebrating powerful female athletes in a high-octane, fun-filled experience. She is a dynamic and charismatic speaker with an extensive schedule of “Corporate Coaching” events for national companies including JP Morgan Chase, General Electric, Gucci and Jackson National Life Insurance, and has contributed to various panel discussions including Bustle's “Rule Breakers” and the ESPNW Summit. In her TEDWomen 2019 talk, Miss Val inspires people to reevaluate their definition of success. She maintains that real success is developing champions in life, and that in order to motivate success, we need to inspire those whom we lead without compromising the human spirit. As a recent breast cancer survivor, Valorie's positive outlook and hope-filled message is impactful. She empowered her athletes to use their voices, to celebrate themselves, and to enjoy the elite sport that has damaged so many in the past. She also shared her motivating and inspirational messages with the world, with her book, “LIFE IS SHORT, DON'T WAIT TO DANCE: Advice and Inspiration from the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams,” which was released in Fall 2018 by the Hachette Book Group. It expounds on her life philosophy: “Don't wait to see what life is going to hand you, take control of your life and design ~ choreograph it exactly how you want it to turn out.” In her free time, Valorie is active with the UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation, LA 84 Olympic Foundation, WISE (Women In Sports & Events), BCRF (Breast Cancer Research Foundation), Unite For Her, and many other charitable organizations, close to her heart.

Kathryn interviews coach Valorie Kondos Field, author of “”Life is Short, Don't Wait to Dance: Advice and Inspiration from the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams”. For Field it's not about the X's and O's, it's about choreographing your life and owning the choices you make. This book is a thought-provoking, fun journey through the personal stories and anecdotes of the 35-year career of an athletic coach. Kathryn also interviews award-winning artist Lisa Sniderman, author of “A Light in the Darkness (A Memoir): Transcending Chronic Illness through the Power of Art and Attitude”. Living with a chronic illness for more than 10 years, Sniderman creates to heal. Diagnosed with a rare, debilitating immune disorder called dermatomyositis (DM), she struggled to maintain a normal life with a body in revolt. Living with a chronic illness challenged her to see DM as a gift in disguise that has opened the door to new dreams, new songs, and new opportunities.
