Kim and Chris founded Texas Dreams Gymnastics on the philosophy of "DREAM" - Dedication Rewards Each Athlete's Mission.
Kim was the 1st American gymnast to win a World All-Around Championship. She is a three-time World Champion, an Olympic medalist, and a USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame member. She is a Brevet Level USA Gymnastics Judge - this allows her to judge at the international level.
Chris is a National Team coach and has coached alongside some of gymnastics' best coaches, including Bela and Martha Karolyi, and Mary Lee Tracy. In addition to coaching, Chris is active in USAG committees and gives clinics and workshops on various aspects of the sport.
Even though Kim and Chris are in the gym everyday coaching the Dream Team, which are their Elite and Elite hopeful gymnasts, they stay very involved in all levels of Texas Dreams Gymnastics. It is not uncommon to hear one of them congratulating a Level 4 gymnast on getting a new skill or celebrating that first kip.
One of Kim and Chris' proudest accomplishments is the fact that every athlete that has graduated high school while training at Texas Dreams Gymnastics have gone on to get a full NCAA Athletic Scholarship to a Division I school.
