Brooklyn Moors, a Canadian gymnast, faced significant challenges due to a mental block that prevented her from executing backward flips. With the introduction of Lacy Dagen as the Bruins' new beam coach, Moors successfully executed a back handspring and earned top honors, demonstrating notable improvement in her performance. Dagen, who had an impressive gymnastics background, built a strong rapport and trust with her gymnasts, significantly impacting their confidence and performance on the beam, and leading UCLA to a high national ranking in that event.
It's tough because if you haven't been through a mental block, such as going backward in gymnastics, it's very hard to understand.
Lacy was honestly the best decision to this team we could have ever even had.
We trust her for everything. She trusts us, and we built this great connection.
She has a lot of experience as a student-athlete, and we were really excited to bring that in because I felt like she's really relatable.
