Chris Waller – Locker Room Speech

After a somewhat disappointing start, I felt UCLA would not be able to challenge for the team title.

Coach Waller was not happy. He chewed out the team.

The rest is history. The Bruins’ big comeback was keyed in rotation five by a season-high 49.6375 performance on Bars. Kyla going 9.9875. Peng a perfect 10.

Grace Glenn led off Beam with 9.9375. The team finished with fantastic routines from Katelyn, Kyla and Peng to barely edge past Oklahoma.

Eddie Van Hoof settles with BG

Seems to me it was wrongful dismissal.

Seems to me they’ve paid Eddie to stop contesting.

No disciplinary procedure was implemented against Mr Van Hoof. Both parties have agreed not to comment on the content of the settlement agreement other than to clarify that it has no bearing on Mr Van Hoof’s British Gymnastics membership, which is continuing.

When we added this drill to the Canadian coach education curriculum, I had my doubts.

But if you get the height of the blocks just right, it works well.
