In this episode Suzanne Yoculan Leebern, former head coach of the women's gymnastics program at UGA from 1983 to 2009, shares her secret sauce for becoming one of the most decorated coaches in the history of collegiate gymnastics. During her tenure, she turned the UGA gymnastics program into a national powerhouse. Named the NCAA coach of the year 5 times, she led the team to 10 NCAA championship titles, 16 Southeastern Conference titles, 22 NCAA Regional crowns, and produced 37 NCAA individual champions (including 3-time all-around winner Courtney Kupets) and 58 Gym Dogs with 306 All-America honors. In 2010, she was inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. And to top it all off, along with Alabama gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson, she was featured in the 2014 ESPN documentary Sarah & Suzanne, about the rivalry of the two coaches and their gymnastic teams.
