excited performance three
I was really excited about her performance. For her to come out there with three 9.90s, she really made it all look so easy.

It was wonderful to see they were very calm, yet so aggressive.
close genuinely rooting team
The team is very close and (the players) are genuinely rooting for one another.
effect happy performed shock start
Yes, that was a shock to us. But I'm very happy with how we performed under those conditions. Sometimes when it's like that from the start it can effect the athletes' mentality. But they didn't let it effect them.
nice push seen
That will give us a push because we haven't seen them. It will be nice to have something new and fresh.
finished road trip
It couldn't have been any better, and we couldn't have finished out our road trip in a better way. They were very comfortable on the road. They were very relaxed. ... It was just like we were at home.

She's doing such an amazing job. She's getting to where we'll be able to count on her for anything.

She could have been a prima donna easily with her skill level and the look of her gymnastics being so exceptional. That's why I love her so much. She's just so sweet and so humble.

athletes help
We just do everything we can think of to give our athletes the help for them to (succeed).

athletes builds caught crowd crucial fans feed floor hard judges react routine scream somebody
We all know how crucial the crowd is when the judges are down on the floor and somebody does a routine and 10,000 fans scream and react to it. It's hard for everyone to not get caught up in that. Everyone builds on that and the athletes feed on that. It really is an advantage.
biggest build couple days
That's the biggest challenge. You have to give them a couple days off then build them back up.
arena arkansas athletes familiar
It was not a surprise. Arkansas is an arena we're familiar with and these athletes are familiar with.
