The first day I went I was like, ‘Mom, this is my gym. I love it’"
- Ragan Smith


"There is absolutely pressure. The more talented they are, the more pressure that we see. It’s a huge responsibility. Because they are already so good and they’re so focused and they so know what they want to do and they have this huge toolbox, you better be willing to do something great with it.”
- Kim Zmeskal-Burdette


"There’s a lot of grueling work and heartache that goes into that, only to find out at the end of the day that there’s only a few select kids that can physically make it or mentally make it... or just statistically make it."
- Chris Burdette


"I know that Bailie’s really young but she leads. She leads the group. It doesn’t matter how young she is, she always has that.”
- Kim Zmeskal-Burdette


"As a coach when we see athletes make a mistake, it is our number one job to connect with them immediately and to give them the look and to give them the feeling that it’s not over. We can stay and cry later but right now it’s about 'do you want to stay in the game?'”
- Kim Zmeskal-Burdette


"It’s great to go to the training camps and be surrounded by it, but we come home and there’s somebody right behind you that’s doing the skill better or bigger. And seeing someone across the gym doing something better, that has an impact.”
- Chris Burdette


"I'm almost in tears of like 'I need you to believe you can do this'"
- Kim Zmeskal-Burdette


"I think about my goals whenever I’m having either a tough day in the gym or if I’m tired. I know what it’s all for, what my sacrifices are for. I just try to think: this is for long term."
- Bailie Key


"I don’t know that we’ve ever discussed the Olympics. I don’t know that we’ve ever said the word. But there’s no question that that’s every kid's dream. And then as they go along, the question is 'is that a reality?' And this was one step to show- this could be a possibility.”
- Chris Burdette


"These are friendships that these girls are making that will be a lifetime. They’re doing things that are so abnormal and to such a high level that there is a bond that is like no other.”
- Kim Zmeskal-Burdette
