Positivity and Gratitude… How’s That Going for You?
Please join us on April 28 for a cocktail reception and fireside chat, where we welcome back Miss Val, who last spoke to BP members in May 2020 as we entered two years of pandemic living. This conversation will be moderated by Kate Pletcher, Century City Chapter Leader and Founder/CEO of Treehouse Partners.
Miss Val is a storied and championship-winning UCLA gymnastics coach-turned-author and much-sought-after speaker, who miraculously led our Bruins for 29 seasons and 7 National Championships.
About the Speaker
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. For Miss Val, it’s not about winning and losing, it’s about choreographing your life and owning the choices you make. Cost: $35 for Members / $50 for Non-Members Location: James West Alumni Center – Collins Conference Room RSVP 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.
