Beyond the Routine: Texas Dreams | Building the #1 US Elite Club from Scratch 

Texas dreams, the experts in breaking amazing gymnasts Bailie Key tops the list as the most broken gymnast, so broken she only competed one shaky routine during 4 years in college, such a talent list in vain Then we have Macy Toronjo, we can say she’s more lucky because she got to compete few times at UCLA, obviously not reaching her full potential because of injuries We also have Ragan Smith and Emma Malabuyo. The former had some success in the beginning but her two years as a senior were painful to watch as she tried to stay competitive while clearly injured, and didn’t have a proper closure to her elite career. Same with Emma : huge success as a junior, than disappeared as a senior because of an injury after the other, at least we got see her in 2021 but it was a bit too late to catch up to gymnasts who has few years of internationals experience and progress They’re both doing well though in college, sth we can’t say about Toronjo or Key

can we have a Brestyan's or aly raisman beyond the Routine?

"He was doing sarcasm and stuff" AAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

its ragan! i love her

this was SO. GOOD. OMG.

i’ve watched this documentary so many times and it continues to inspire me

Thank you for giving us Ragan, LOVE HER 100%

I love her! I remember watching her years ago. I met her in person a couple of weeks ago. Her son was at the region 3 elite team camp with my son and it was time to go home for the day. Her son, Koda, had out his Pokemon cards and the boys were gathered around him looking at the cards when I turned around and saw her standing there, waiting to pick him up. I said "HI!" and she said "Hi"- I was so star struck I didn't know what else to say...I didn't want to sound like a creepy stalker! LOL! Her son is an extremely talented gymnast and I can see him going far!

Wow. I remember being a young kid watching her at her first Olympics. I loved her then and this makes me love her even more. She seems like such a neat person.

I love Bailey's gymnastics. I hope she goes to college and competes. Kim and Chris seem to have the right mix for their gym. The girls seem happy and I love how they compete against each other in training. Makes it so interesting. This was a great documentary. Loved Kim's gymnastics and glad to see her so fired up and passionate about coaching too. Rock on!!

I love all of these Beyond the Routine episodes!

She seems such an incredible kind person as a coach

started crying when Kim said she would give anything to go back and perform a floor routine

I hope flo gymnastics reads this comment. I really love this Texas dreams video it is very inspiring and I have watched it many times. I really want to watch the other parts to the Texas dreams series and other videos but I don't want to pay the money to go "pro" on the website. Please put the other parts on RU-vid!!!!

It’s hard to quit something you’ve always known. When it’s over, its over. I see the passion and emotion Kim has for gymnastics. I love her❤️

She’s the reason I fell in love with gymnastics. Class act and still my favorite gymnast.

I just love you, Kim Zmeskal. You & Kathy Johnson are my all time fav's. Your style was so impeccable - you were just so absolutely beautiful in your presentation and style. I haven't caught up with you for so many years, and to watch this just made me cry. I've been a competitive gymnast and long-time coach, and though it's at a much lower level, I strive to always coach like you - very focused and goal-oriented, but sincerely dedicated to each child. I knew you were that kind of coach - the perfect kind. And your husband is the perfect match for you from what I can see, and I'm so glad you guys are happy & successful. With respect ...Marie

Another "PR" piece , there's also one on the Karoli's that make it all seem so pure and happy - sadly untrue.

OMG, I love Chris! I like that he pushes the competition, he is exactly right - you have to teach one gymnast to do something and the others will learn it too. Just because they want to. I like that he is funny and brings that to the gym.

Thanks so much for letting us watch this episode to the people outside of the US, that can't afford to subscribe to your awesome website. Congrats for an incredible job!

What a Great coach Kim has become

I LOVE RAGANNNNN AS SOON AS I SAW THIS VIDEO IN MY SUGGESTIONS I CLICKED ON IT SO FAST

I watched her grow up. she visited my gym Rebounders with Bella....we watched her compete and win.....Great that she and Chris are building their own legacy.

Baby Ragan!

Omg. Baby malabuyo! Sooio cute. "I get it now. He was doing sarcasm and stuff."

This was epic story telling. Getting to see the evolution of triple whip back Kim Zmeskal from phenom to coach was so insightful. You can see her love of gymnastics. It's so evident that her teaching and coaching is so special. You can see her empathy, care, energy, and personal attention she gives to her students. Those kids are so lucky to be learning from a Master. I hope the legacy USA gymnastics that Bella and Martha built gets passed to Kim and her husband.

Great documentary. I was watching TV the day when Kim won Worlds in 1991, and watching her now, makes me think she seems to be a very wise and kind person.

Kind of weird watching this after all the things former gymnasts have said about her 😕

If you’re leaving positive comments on this video you need to do your research (within the last year). Don’t be fool Texas dreams is Texas nightmares

Omg little Raegan! 5:54

Thank you for putting this on your youtube channel! Greatly appreciate it!!! Excited to see some of these kiddos this weekend!

AWW I LOVED SEEING LITTLE MACY NOW THAT SHES AT UCLA😭

I would've loved Kim as my coach. She seems so kind, gentle and supportive

Love watching Kim and Chris coach. Love the sarcasm! Wish there were more of them 😁

“You know what happens every time you do that? Reagan gets confident.” 😂😂😂😂 he coaches a LOT like my dad

This would be an amazing TV series

Absolutely Amazing! I loved KIm then and most inspired by her now. Great documentary!

I love this!!! Watched it over and over countless times

Omg! Macy is now a ucla gymnast

Chris' use of Normative Feedback, is right on the edge, but overall right on. Only negative I see here is the fact that the major gymnasts, Bailie and Peyton suffered horrendous injuries which ruined their elite, and in Petyon's case, college career. I hope these injuries were not the result of being pushed too hard. Now, in 2017 Regan is US champ and favourite for the world title, whilst Emma is 2nd best junior and an early favourite for Tokyo 2020

awesome documentary! go Kim and Texas Dreams!

Great documentary! So nice to see how Kim has matured into an adult and such a great coach. I was disappointed when she stopped competing, but loved her perspective that while she will probably always miss that, she finds coaching "so much more interesting." I think "try to be different" will be my new mantra. Or, Chris' "Let me give you a neck massage!" 😀

Little Ragan! ❤

That closet is LIT

My favorite still to this day. She was so much fun to watch!

This is fantastic! 👍🏼 Awesome gymnast, and all-around great human being... 👌🏼

I love her. what a beautiful couple. and amazing!! a beautiful family!

I haven't seen much of Kim since her glory days as a gymnast. Then after the '92 disaster, I've only seen those photos of her looking so sad and broken down, her glory often overlooked. . . . . Now I remover why I loved her so much. She is so perky , positive, happy. I'm happy to see she is so happy and successful,in life, and is still in the world of gymnastics.

Aww mini Ragan😍

THIS WAS SO GOOD, I LOVE THE COACHES AND KIDS. THIS S GOING TO BE SO GREAT!

Kim Zsemeskal my fav gymnast of all time!

i hope you post more documentary on youtube

"Let me massage your neck" mimes strangulation. LMAO!

I feel so inspired after this!!!!

OMG I am LOVING this! Kim & Chris are a wonderful coaches!! Especially love Chri's coaching style.. Big fan of sarcasm right here!!! I wish they had a show.

Class & Grace right there I wouldn't be surprised if Kim is offered Marta's position when she retires after Rio

Baillie was such a beautiful gymnast to watch.

Chris is me when I coach 😂😂

She's got such beautiful eyes, almost otherworldly.

Kim still a bad ass in my book! Love the documentary. I remember all the gymnastic greats from Mary Lou Retton on up! I am thankful to be around for the history of gymnastics. It has been an amazing change as far as the routines, the choreography, the styles and the raw power that these gymnast exude. Whoohooo!!

Think I have watched this so many times

VERY cool......glad Kim is successful!!! she deserves it!

Yes Chris exactly what propelled Scott/Tessa was them training w competitive USA 🇺🇸 team, pushing each other.

that was amazing

This is great! I teared up when they showed the framed picture of Kim and Hilary❤️

Kim is the reason I ever paid attention to gymnastics. I loooove her.

LOVE this!

When is the next one coming out on RU-vid this was so good

Kim cut Kennedy Baker’s braids off

I love this video!😍

Pound for pound and inch for inch, these elite female gymnasts are the toughest athletes you'll ever see. There's so much pressure for them to succeed at the highest levels, and at such a young age.

Reagan Smith really reminds me of Shawn Johnson she’s little but has a lot of power on the beam and all that

BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.......

IMHO USAG should have started their Made in America series with Kim. Congrats on Gym of the Year Kim! So much talent at your gym and your P&G leos were amazing! I hope at least one of your girls represent in Rio. im sure there will be many more of your gymnasts in the future in the run for a Olympic team. Chris the Minecraft room is so cool!!!👍 Flo please do a feature on WOGA. They barely spoke English whem they moved here and the gym was an old grocery store and look at them now:)

Theres something about him that gives me the creeps🤢😬

Ayyye it’s ragan! My favorite! Love her

Ragan always so shy 😂❤

"Chris and I aren't like Marta and Bela"...well thank goodness for that given the recent exposure of the Karolyi's over the top/pretty much abusive coaching practices. She even says at the end that when she was under them the gymnasts weren't allowed to talk to eachother in the gym? Like what the hell....I get wanting to keep them focused but communication is a frickin basic human right

Please post BTR canada rising!! I can't afford FloPro and I would love to watch it!

I don't know what kind of a dream Texas Dreams is to train at when the coaches allow their gymnasts to compete in pain against their doctor's advice on untreated injuries. As a former gymnast and a current healthcare professional, if I was a coach at any gym I would not allow it. Continued training on top of ignored injuries will result in years of avoidable pain.

Do a MG Elite beyond the routine!!

I have such a big crush on Chris since I saw this... :D He's soooo coool!

I looked up to Kim as a kid during her era and I’m so happy to see what she’s doing for these kids and the sport.

Personally I couldn’t feel bad for her AT ALL during this because of how horrible she was with the team she train and the fact she new about Nassar sexually abusing the girls and not saying anything no to mention how she would make racist jokes and them they portrayed her as an innocent person in this video it’s so uncomfortable and as a gymnast it nit appreciated like at all-

Kim,,, I love you since the 1st time I saw you,,,, you're my inspiration,,, and I will love you 4ever,,,😶😊😃!!!

That man is disgusting. Why did no one call out his manipulation and verbal abuse when this was made?

When you do that Ragan gets confidence 😂 )18)

How come we can all see this one as a full episode?

The Girl at 10:39 - I'm dying she's so cute !

ragan upgraded beam and bars

Can I take extracts from this video for a video for Ragan Smith please ?

Ah Hilary!! Some days i just miss those days so much. Kim was an excellent role model and super kind to us kids.

The gymnasts are so open with the cameras, unlikely so many other gymnasts. I think the other gymnasts are too afraid to say anything because of the strict atmosphere. These gymnasts are so relaxed.

This whole thing made me cry

She was my all-time favorite growing up!!!!... Breaks my heart to hear she's a racist!...

omg did i just see baby ragan???

What great coaches, and human beings... 💯

Chis give me the creeps. He’s got that same vibe and energy of my old coaches, both convicted for SA. I’d advise him to protect his hard drive with his whole entire life.

bailie is upgrading floor and vault

She OF ALL PEOPLE should know what it’s like to train as a gymnast. SHE should have done better!
