@Ysleta_YWLA middle school mini Christmas plays rocked. Thank u Transformer parents! Next week we will have High school plays!! @YISDFineArts @ywprep @YWLASTUCOEP

Guess what? Of all 7 middle schools competing, not a single girl is representing them! Another reason Killer Queens are the best. Of the 21 contestants the only girls are us. @Ysleta_YWLA @YsletaISD @YISDFineArts @SusanPolgar

~ 5 year/10 million dollar contract as Head Coach and Chess Director at the University of Los Angeles ~

After successful stints as Head Coach of TTU and Webster University, winning more than all the other Collegiate Chess Programs COMBINED, I had to retire 2 years ago due to health issues. My students achieved unprecedented success:

10 consecutive years at #1
8 PanAm InterCollegiate Championships (7 consecutive)
7 consecutive Final Four Championships
Multiple Olympiad Gold
2 World Championships
5 World Open Championships
Over 70 National Individual and Team Championships, etc.

Now that my health is improving, I hope to achieve even greater success at the University of Los Angeles. My tenure will begin on June 1, 2023. More details will be released soon.

I was asked if I could give advice to young people, especially girls, what would it be? Easy! Whatever you choose to do, be bold, be confident, and never impose limits on yourself! Always raise the bar and shoot for the furthest star! #ThursdayMotivation #ThursdayVibes
