With 23 seasons coaching gymnastics at Oregon State, Michael Chaplin and I had plenty to talk about: how he's grown as a coach, what he's seen usually leads to athletes being successful after college, and how he transitioned away from his own gymnastics career.

Michael was a Pac-10 champion, a national champion and a two-time All-American at UCLA. Michael and his wife Tanya (a six-time All-American at UCLA) have been coaching in Corvallis since 1998. Tanya is OSU's head coach and Michael serves as associate head coach.
