What she brings to the team, besides energy, enthusiasm and a full-of-life personality, is her experience — under pressure, with fans, with crowds, and on a team.

Courtney just gets better and better. There were places tonight where she could have earned a 10. We talked about zone moments before the meet and she certainly had hers tonight. And Katie and Kelsey...

This is a testament to the hard work by this team. We could feel the pressure on our heels, and we had to perform. That was such a great competition.

I was impressed with our performance on beam. It was just like last year at the national championships when we stuck with a plan and had a belief we would win the competition. It was...

Confidence is high right now. This exactly how the story is supposed to read.

I love the fact they came after us. We had to perform and have a peak performance. We had to have out best meet of the season — which we did have.

We have really been exceptional on vault the whole season. We weren’t even at our best tonight. Tiffany’s vault was a ten if I ever saw it. It was absolutely perfect.

It’s definitely all about the team and so many of the individuals came through. Tonight was a meet about everybody in the lineup. Every single person contributed to our team score. I like to see...

I’d really like to congratulate Alabama and Utah. They were just so strong tonight, and I love the fact they came after us.

We tell all the girls we want them to have a full life. They can do that and still win championships.

You have Georgia and Alabama and Florida and you’re always going to be going up against them and for the same kids year-in and year-out. And that builds the rivalry and makes the competition between...

They can do that and still win championships.

There’s certain qualities she has that are reasons for that, for sure.

We had a lot of ups and downs today. We had some 9.9s and some low scores. You could tell it was the beginning of the season. The landings are still difficult and they do...

If our team is focused, relaxed under pressure and in sync, we are a force. Nobody can touch us.

We’re solid on every event. We just need to put all four events together in the same night and I think we can push the 198 score. The floor is the event that we love...

I feel like we’ve been waiting for this day a long time. We’re anxious to get on the floor and hit our peak performance because we haven’t done that yet. We feel like it’s our...

That doesn’t happen very often. It was a fluke. I don’t want to read too much into it. But I was surprised.

I believe we won those meets because we believed we could. I think that’s what has set us apart in those pressure situations.

Not many teams can fall three times and still win. But that’s a testament to our team and the girls.

For me, this is such a relief that this night is over and we are qualified for Super Six. I felt we started out a little slow for us, but I’m most proud that we...

It’s important to make sure (the gymnasts) don’t get overconfident or too cocky or too arrogant. We’ve had teams in the past that would’ve responded to that (ranking), but these girls are not like that....

We did not look like a championship team tonight. We’ve got a long way to go and a lot of work to do. We need to get back into our rhythm because we got out...

I just have relief that today is over and we’ve qualified. We started off slow on vault, but I’m especially proud because we made some mistakes on every event but that didn’t rattle us.

To have Courtney be the national beam champion is something I’m personally proud of. You have to be perfect to be the beam champion.

It’s been way too long.

They’re very much motivated by the jewelry, and now we get two rings this year.
