Michigan Women's Gymnastics has just won their 27th Big Ten title, 26 of them under Bev Polacki.

She's going to join me next on Conquering Heroes.

Welcome to your one-stop podcast for all things Michigan Athletics.

Updates on every team on campus and interviews with players and coaches are all on the way.

This is Conquering Heroes.

Here's her host, John Chanson.

I'm now joined by one of the best coaches, if not the greatest coach, that the Big Ten has known, and that is the women's gymnastics

coach on her personal 26th Big Ten title, 27th for the program, a Big Ten lead.

That's Coach Bev Pallaki.

Coach, first of all, thanks for joining me.

And second, congratulations.

Another terrific season and another Big Ten title.

Thanks so much.

It's great to be with you today.

When you look back on, and I want to talk about this year,

but how do you as a coach not become complacent,

not become, you know, just losing the years in the titles,

26 Big Ten titles, to be able to demand that excellence from your student athletes from yourself

is really hard to do.

How do you do it?

Oh, that's an incredible question.

I don't know how to be complacent, I guess.
