From the Back Cover
The GymDogs are the only women's college gymnastics team to go undefeatedthrough an entire season and they've done it four times. Under Yoculan'sdirection, Georgia gymnasts have earned 267 All-America honors, and Georgiagymnasts have won 29 NCAA individual championships. The GymDogs have placedin the nation's top 3 teams in 18 of the last 20 years.
Yoculan has been at the forefront of every important movement in women'scollege gymnastics-she showed the world that college gymnasts were not "overthe hill" at 18 and could improve every season, she showed other coaches howto successfully battle the problem of anorexia in female gymnasts, sheintroduced Olympic-level skills to a college sport suffering frommediocrity, she initiated the establishment of the first renewable seasonticket program in the nation for a women's college team, and she developedboth a winner's and a fan's code of conduct for college gymnastics meets.Winner of 7 NCAA Championships and 15 SEC Championships, Yoculan has foughthard for Title IX-promoting the rights of women in sport, both players andcoaches alike, and fighting against chauvinism within collegeadministrations-opening the door for women coaches to question the fairnessof their compensation packages.
