UCLA Gymnastics: The New Era - Episode 2

[@ragansmithgymnastics7782]

McKayla Maroney was obsessed with her Furby! She used to bring it to practice! I love how Kyla got so excited about that

[@shanilapidot5009]

I love the fact that after all the years that past from their practices together she still remembered that. That shows how great Kyla actually is, not just in gymnastics but in heart and life as well.

[@layray210]

Chris has REALLY impressed me so far, in literally every way possible. He’s a great leader for this team

[@idv1101]

layray210 totally! His kindness and leadership will lead to amazing accomplishments for this team! 💛💛

[@haileyhudson4157]

agreed!!

[@stephanied2401]

He has a real dorky dad energy and I love it.

[@blueberryquaaludes]

Me again. Players want a coach not a buddy.

[@layray210]

The Blueberry Quaaludes I feel like mrs Val had a more buddy relationship with her team than Chris does but what do we know, we aren’t on the team experiencing their coaching.

[@_smallmegan2145]

Kochi being such a team leader is huge vibes I'm so proud of her

[@TopGamerPT]

Yaass, that's what I was thinking

[@franzizzy4048]

Nia screaming “don’t forget who you are” at Kocie is my vibe

[@lucymichel2791]

This is moment I started crying.

[@leahsrichards]

Chris Waller is the heart and soul this team needed.

[@tomgallowitz4464]

yes, sorry they lost their last meet, wouldn't be surprised if actually being in LA and experiencing how Kobe's death has affected the city gotten to them

[@lnisme0295]

@@tomgallowitz4464 the last meet in this video was at Stanford and UCLA won 197.575-196.250

[@UndisclosedName]

This team is everything a team should be. The love they have for each other is beautiful. I really felt their pain. I love that even though they’re at a level we could never be at, we’re still able to relate to them because of how true they are ❤️

[@Rippsterful]

Can we talk about Mercedes giving Kochi her pep talk too? THE CUTEST

[@lilpebblespebble449]

Maddie kocian is like the Aly Raisman of the group😂😂 they are like total moms.

[@lisanguyen9206]

1. I love that they showed how vulnerable student athletes can be even though they earn perfect scores and do incredible and strong performances. 2. Chris is an amazing head coach. I love that the girls all seem comfortable around him and he makes sure that all the team are always mentally and emotionally connected. Miss Val made her mark, and Chris will make his. 3. Maddie being such a strong leader despite everything’s she’s been through makes me admire how much she’s grown from her elite days where those athletes occasionally said a word to one another. 4. This whole team clearly love each other and will do anything for one another. These ladies show that love, friendship and their team comes before winning and being number one individually. P and Norah are so funny. 5. Deanna’s doing an outstanding job at capturing all these moments. She’s one amazing videographer. I’m so fully obsessed with these behind the scenes moments and am in with love this docuseries as a whole. 😍

[@Sentilong_Jamir]

15:29 sounds like chanting the period like girl having time of that month 😂😂😂 period

[@anitaudvardi41]

I love Chris's approach, much less bravado than Miss Val, but it feels more genuine with him

[@alizkatasztrofakonyhaja]

i love the fact that Norah and Kendal are roommates now! Norah is you know..Norah, and brings out the funniest side of Kenny! love those two

[@sowhat6242]

Everything about this is so wonderful. LOVE seeing Kocian being such a leader! This team is so supportive of each other and it’s beautiful. Also, HUGE shoutout to Chris calling the team psychologist when they were having a tough day!! That’s awesome - doesn’t happen enough and def isn’t openly discussed enough.

[@anaelivillarreal8830]

I hope they become national championship this year they been going through alot in so little time and have improve dramatically... The best team so supportive

[@yumyumoryuck8675]

Wow - I am so impressed. It's amazing to see a team putting their athletes' well being as the #1 priority and how that leads to results. Watching the whole team embrace, encourage, and be understanding of their teammate's fears - and their coach's leadership - all I can say is this is how gymnastics should be.

[@user-jr6gn5ce4i]

deanna, you are magic. this should be required viewing for all sports fans.

[@TweetsIsBoss]

i love how the team honored the Mamba Mentality that day 💗💗 much love for UCLA

[@abigailchalfont5912]

Deanna, please make a feature length movie on the bruins! You are amazing with your camera work and editing! I am fascinated with all of the artistry you put into your videos to make them special. This episode really told a story and the way it was made was truly breathtaking. Bravo Deanna!

[@idv1101]

woahh.. I was not planning on getting emotional. These girls are so beyond incredible and Deanna, you’re doing a beautiful job at capturing these pure and inspiring moments! 💙💛

[@dianarosales4169]

Norah: and im gonna get a hamster Kendall: well yes but actually no

[@bellak46]

“They called me Kelly! Did anyone else catch that?! That’ll do.” 😂😂😂 that made me laugh hard. These girls are awesome.

[@candycoatedoom]

This reminds me a lot of the vlogs Peng did her sixth year.

[@alexab2360]

This is so great. I also really love seeing how much Maddie Kocian has become a team leader. Just listening to her pep talks to others is enough to inspire me.

[@marisaa.tamayo]

seeing grace cry broke my heart 😭

[@marthae9783]

@4:54 I love Kyla talking about her former Olympic teammate (Makayla) “She used to bring it to practice” 😂😂😂

[@elinesa]

So cute! However, it was about Mckayla (Maroney), not Makayla (Skinner). Spelling makes a difference there ;p

[@marthae9783]

Eline oh yes true! I knew she was talking about Mck. M I just can’t spell😂

[@taylorcarter573]

Eline her name is MyKayla Skinner

[@elinesa]

@@taylorcarter573 oops! See, that's how difficult their names are haha. Especially when you live in a country where the name McKayla/Makayla/Mykayla doesn't even exist ;) Thanks for helping me out haha

[@janelle8099]

When Norah screams, it kind of brings me insanity! I absolutely love her! 💜

[@xaea-xii6111]

I miss this Era

[@saveoursoul.s.]

Awesome Era It Was

[@Sentilong_Jamir]

Agreed

[@xaea-xii6111]

Yes yes yes

[@maddietenhouten2276]

Honestly this team is friendship goals

[@hazelnutspred3348]

[@emmavandriessche8713]

So much respect for this team! Chris is such a good coach who really wants the best for his team! The team has eachothers back no matter what!! Madison and Mercedes give great peptalks and lots of respect for Kendal and Grace!!

[@danmehlman1]

Last Sunday was such an emotional day and this video captured the raw emotions from the girls. I felt so bad for Kung Fu Keni. She seems like such a sweet girl and to see her so uncomfortable on the plane was hard. Her team really came together and did the best they could to help her. This team is amazing both in and out of the gym.

[@xxKunzerxx]

This episode made me tear up. 💕 Kendal is so strong and I command her on her bravery.

[@johannai.220]

I never knew I needed those episodes so much😍 thank you

[@gogreen1010]

the story of Savi and Gracie first becoming friends is so cute. and Lilia's "you can't take him!!" #girldad

[@jiwakental4412]

I miss peng lee and ohashi😭

When is the next episode released? I need this series for MY LIFE🙌🏻😬

[@NomiEloiseR]

this was so beautiful. I love this team so much. they inspire me and also give me positive vibes. I wish I had something like this

[@tessamoran-santangelo6837]

I loved everything about this! You really captured their vulnerability and how brave of them to do that. So hard to see that Kenny has such a tough time but truly inspiring to see the way her teammates are there supporting her! I love everything this team stands for so much

[@kaylajanelle989]

This episode made me emotional wowwww😖😥

[@heartbreakistemporaryswagi5033]

I am so proud of how mentally strong Keni is. The team this year is at it's best and will never be the same which makes me sad, but Gracie and Savvi's story is so cute and wholesome.

[@annalovesariana2029]

YAS Thank you Deanna!💙💛

[@rachellee9514]

Whoever asked if they were a volleyball team has clearly never seen volleyball players in real life.

[@natashalgoycoortiz9140]

This is the best! I’m so sorry for Kenny’s anxiety but I commend her for getting on the plane every single time!!! Bruins are just the best! Btw. Where is Anna? Did she not make the team?

[@franzizzy4048]

Natasha L Goyco Ortiz I think Anna‘s injured, but there’s not been any official statement

She should really consider/look into getting a prescription for anti-anxiety medication for her plane rides with how often she travels 🥺💔 I understand crippling, debilitating anxiety and I hate seeing her suffer like that...

Chris Waller, you are a class act.

The amount of support, trust, and love 💯💯 there is nothing greater than knowing u are a part of a team, and u guys are ONE.

I love how if one person is sad everyone else is sad. Now that is team goals☺️

[@ohhhdarjeeling]

Kendal is such an inspiration 😭😭😭

[@EPadre]

Absolutely great behind the scenes peek at (in my opinion) the best gymnastics team out in collegiate sports. Also, props to the team filming this for being there to show us all this! Well done all around!

[@anapatriciaortiz1448]

Love this series, great to get to know all the girls and staff better and see their journey of this season.

[@haileyhudson4157]

30 minutes of UCLA gymnastics content? yes, please

[@madsbaird7830]

the team legit looks so warm and gives off cozy but fierce vibes like the coaches just have that "we actually care about your wellbeing" outside of gymnastics too attitude and thats something that ive legit looked for in so many team aspects but never found bc ppl are so caught up in athletics that they forget that were all human so its nice that yall have each other and caring coaches and wow i just love yall

[@gaurikahanda1244]

I love UCLA! It's my dream college!

[@smileypantscuppycake122]

Kocie I love you! Awesome team leader!

[@saskiawillemse413]

This series is so great aahhh

[@spdcrzy]

I was rewatching The Newsroom and seeing Maggie have her panic attack during the meeting, they did a REALLY good portrayal of how panic attacks look, feel, and function. It was almost identical to Kendal's situation here in how her body physically reacted to the anxiety.

[@saracayen]

30 min of the bruins? sign me tf up

[@laurenslife3148]

I love these you should be on Netflix I also do competitive gymnastics

[@kristenturner2172]

It has always been my dream to attend UCLA for gymnastics I don’t think I will get the chance to but to see the bond they have is awesome I always watch the UCLA on tv and wish I was them

[@laurastobbe9331]

Wow, watching this has pumped me up not only for my athletic endeavours but life in general. Incredible storytelling!

I have major flight anxiety too so I totally get it. Ativan and prayers are the only things that get me by. Lol

[@caseyleblanc3557]

Can you put the gymnasts name on the screen to introduce them the first time they’re featured in an episode? I recognize most of them but I’m not familiar with some of the lower class men and would love to get to know them more!

[@emmah6286]

Renegade playing at 10:49 is just vibes - it is playing throughout the video though

I am IN LOVE with this series!!

May I officially name the Norah + Margzetta friendship ship Norzetta? They *sadly* didn't have too many best friend moments in this video but I SHIP THEIR FRIENDSHIP SO MUCH.

Me again. “Unbelievably courageous” key word unbelievably. Another motivational nugget from Coach Slack. I’ve got chills.

There are classes to take for flight anxiety.

[@fraidarahbaran6076]

Get this girl an anti-anxiety medication for flying!! You don't have to suffer!!!

[@chrissyjoy08]

I know, right? There's no shame in taking a Xanax. And surely it can't be against competition rules, plus it would be out of your system by the time they compete.

[@JeweLinHisHans]

Xanax, sheesh. I get clonazepam. It works just enough that I’m not falling asleep on my feet or walking around in a fog. One time I didn’t get a script since a friend gave me a piece of Xanax but I walked around the Colorado airport lost as a child for hours.

[@oji7134]

And this...this right here..is why I wanna join gymnastics. And to do cool flips 😜✌️
