About the Speaker
Valorie Kondos Field, aka Miss Val, as she’s affectionately known by the scores of champion gymnasts she’s coac hed over her career—has no background in gymnastics. She never tumbled, fli pped, or played any type of organized sport. And yet she became a legendary , hall of fame coach, through curiosity, creativity, attention to detail, a nd unwavering care for the overall well-being of her athletes.
Head c oach of the seven-time NCAA Champion, 22-time Regional and 18-time Pac-12 C hampion UCLA Women’s Gymnastics team, Miss Val was inducted into the UCLA A thletic Hall of Fame in 2010. The four-time “National Coach of the Year” wa s 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 coac h.
Crediting her mentor, legendary basketball coach John Wooden, and the Olympians and athletes with whom she’s worked, Miss Val’s success is d ue to her extraordinary leadership and mentorship of young student-athletes , and the way in which she uses gymnastics as an avenue through which to te ach 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.
