KUDOS to her Coach, who turned a champion gymnast who hated the sport since she was 11 into a champion who exudes joy when she is on the mat doing her routine.

Well done, Coach.

Valorie Kondos Field

Considered one of the finest college gymnastics coaches of all time, Field has led her Bruins to seven national championships during her tenure as head coach. On September 20, 2018, she announced her retirement as the head coach of the Bruins gymnastics team,[1] planning to leave after the conclusion of the 2019 season.[2]

“The part autobiography, part self-help, part leadership book explores how a professional ballerina became one of the winningest coaches in NCAA history. Miss Val, as she’s affectionately known, has never even tumbled, flipped, or ever played any type of organized sports and yet was 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. [7]
