    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our department enjoyed an exciting and memorable year both on and off the field of competition in 2016- 17. Ten of our athletic teams finished among the Top 10, nationally. Of even greater significance, 126 of our student-athletes earned their degrees from this university in June and officially embarked upon the next chapter of their lives. Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, student- athletes earned Director’s Honor Roll accolades (3.0 GPA or higher) more than 980 times. In addition, our Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Report (APR) numbers remained high across the board and among the best in the nation. UCLA’s overall GSR of 86% stands two percentage points higher than the national average of 84%. Our football team compiled the second-highest GSR among Pac-12 schools with 88% (the national average for FBS schools is 74%). In addition, six of our teams – men’s water polo, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball – had a GSR of 100 percent. Sixteen of our 20 sports programs had a GSR of 80 percent or higher. I’ve said it before and I’ll say As a department, we always pride ourselves on team practice facilities for our football, men’s basketball it again – our student-athletes not only meet these accomplishments, but it’s absolutely worth noting and women’s basketball teams, and I know that the expectations, but they almost always exceed them. It’s several outstanding individual efforts by our hard- coaches and student-athletes of these teams are a testament to their work ethic and to the support they working student-athletes.

  • Gymnast with Gumption Marcel Nguyen and His Team Have Won the Finale of Deutsche Turnliga 2016
    newsroom Sport Dec 7, 2016 Gymnast with Gumption Marcel Nguyen and his team have won the finale of Deutsche Turnliga 2016. In an interview, the Porsche Brand Ambassador talks about luck, hard work, risk, and his plans for life after competition. “Pain is temporary, pride is forever”—that’s a motto that Porsche Brand Ambassador Marcel Nguyen also wears as a tattoo. You have tattoos and an undercut. Gymnastics is getting cooler by the day, right? I’m part of a very active generation that has probably also brought a breath of fresh air to the sport. You won two silver medals at the London Olympics in 2012. In 2016, you were one of the favorites on the bars. What prevented you from winning a medal in Rio? In gymnastics you always need a little luck. There is something subjective about the sport. But I know that my routine on the bars is one of the best in the world, in substance and in terms of individual moves. So what happened in Rio is spurring me on to become even better in the future. What part of gymnastics would you say is the most important? Everything comes down to preparation. I’m very aware of the risks associated with the sport. But fear has no place in the gym. If you’re afraid, you may as well stay home. I try to prepare myself as well as possible. You have to walk a fine line between risk and stability. You have to keep that in mind when developing your routine.
