The 53rd Annual YMCA Good Friday Breakfast will take place online this year, streamed from the Convention Center’s Grand Ballroom on Good Friday, April 2, 2021 from 8:30a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
The 2021 Breakfast will feature Keynote Speaker Valorie Kondos Field, Legendary Seven-Time National Champion UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Coach.
Valorie Kondos Field is the retired head coach of the seven-time NCAA Champion, 22-time Regional and 18-time Pac 12 Champion UCLA Women’s Gymnastics team. A UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, the four-time “National Coach of the Year” was also named “West Region Coach” of the Year and Pac 12 “Coach of the Century.”
Formerly a professional ballet dancer, Miss Val, as she’s affectionately known, was never a gymnast herself. Her reputation for teaching valuable life lessons, while encouraging individuality and joy is only one reason 46 former US national team members and half of the last two Olympic teams committed to UCLA. Her many credits include choreographing and directing live variety shows, including 26 years for SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo. Kondos Field is a dynamic and charismatic speaker with an extensive schedule of “Corporate Coaching” events and panel discussions. In her book, “Life is Short, Don’t Wait to Dance,” the breast cancer survivor shares motivating messages, and in her TEDWomen 2019 talk, she inspires people to reevaluate their definition of success, encouraging leaders to inspire without compromising the human spirit.
Although the Y celebrates its Judeo-Christian heritage, this event is open to all.
