    Another icon says goodbye. Hard to imagine Bruin gymnastics without her at the helm. Nice to see Bruin legends come back. It’s also great that Utah State gets to be part of the flashmob for Miss Val

    No wonder UCLA's the champs. Coach Val is the best dancer.

      She actually was never a gymnastics coach before she got the UCLA gig....she was a dancer. As I understand it, she was looking to make some money as a piano player and came upon a gymnastics venue that needed a piano player....from there she got into coaching gymnastics. As they say, the rest is history.

    This will, literally, be the end of an ERA. Very much like when Coach Wooden retired. A legendary leader, instructor, teacher and coach is leaving soon. Life for the UCLA gymnastic team will continue on, into next season and forward...though never the same again. #MissValRocks
