way up

high and the dreams that you dream of

Once In A Love

AB now the most important thing is she's

got a terrific sense of

herself where's your father she's right

there carry uh take a couple more

for Peter come on I let's go oh Allison

this is Greg ratkin yes I know

congratulations Mrs Bryan thank you Greg

thinks Katie could have won if she had

performed some harder elements don't

misunderstand me I think Terry Hayes is

a terrific coach but you could have done

better I was Terry's been wonderful to

Katie I have no intention of leaving her

I admire that kind of loyalty i' just

like to see a child go as far as she can

how far do you think Katie could go as

far as she wants but she has to be

developed properly there's a big

difference between Olympic potential and

Olympic performance I appreciate the

opinion Mr rkin it's not an opinion it's

a fact look stop by the gym see what we

do I'd love to work with her nice to

meet you

both don't even think about

it what

so what did Greg Ren

want just a talk your father asked him

how good you were

Daddy I just wanted to know what we had

in our hands we know how good you are I

just wanted to know how good I don't

think I want to hear the answer to that

I think you

do he said you could go as far as you

want Greg radkin said that about me

and he wants to coach

you wow Greg

radkin well this is totally

cool but it's not going to happen why

won't it happen well cuz I can't leave

Terry or my friends or Bo look I think

Terry would understand and and you'd

still see your friends why are we

talking about this Greg radin lives in

Los

Angeles let me ask you a

question how would you like to have him

as a coach mean if if we could work it

out well she's too young to make that

kind of decision Mom I'm not asking her

to make a decision I mean it's her life

she should have some

say would you go with him I mean if if

things fell into

place well I like Terry and I wouldn't

want to hurt her

feelings but Greg Rin is the best

can I please be excused I got a ton of

homework

sure come on call if you get math

anxiety we could pull this off you know

you could write your column there and I

could fly down on the

weekends oh

Peter how how would we pull it off and

what about Katie a brand new school a

new city a new coach plus na see her

daddy all week long well I know it's a

lot she has a gift Alison an Incredible

Gift with the right training she got a

shot to make it to the Olympics do you

know how few kids ever get that shot or

even come close they pay a price Peter

big price she's still a little girl in

most ways yeah but in one way she's a

prodigy got a little bait over on her

hands what do you do when you got a

child that's got a gift like that

I think you develop it I think you have

to there's another price too you

know can always get

aone and radk can will adjust a fee for

a future Champion bet on come on what's

your feminist side huh you going to be

like your parents and tell a little girl

she can't pursue a dream you and I both

know if she were a boy we'd move down

there in a second

[Music]

wow it's huge never did anything like it

we pretty serious about what we do here

how serious the girls get the best of

everything coaches equipment medical

support what about emotional

support Dana come here

sure this is Katie Bryant and her folks

standard partner hi very nice to meet

you hi nice to meet you very nice to

meet nice to meet you I saw you at the

year finals good

job we're a little intimidated Katie has

a poster of you on her wall M no that's

okay it's cool Dana why don't you show

Katie around

sure sweet too sweet as they come Amy

that's good do a few more timers and

then start turning

okay we can be nurturing Mrs Bryant and

supportive but I'll be frank that's not

why I'm here

if you want soft and gentle maybe you

should stick with Terry Hayes she's a

nice woman very

sensitive but Terry Hayes will not get

you to the Olympics but most of these

girls won't make it to the Olympics what

happens to them they cry I cry with them

I try and Coach them to love the sport

to focus on that but the pressures are

too great these girls know that the

world separates winners from

losers but even the ones that don't make

it Mrs Bryant are glad they came they've

grown as

people

Diana when this girl came to me she was

so shy it was

painful now an army couldn't stop her

Diana this is the

Bryant

family their daughter is thinking of

coming

here hello

[Music]

hello your

Dismount

whatever let's go to the office

Katie by hi K tight KNE tight knees and

finish strong up that's a

should what's that that's where the

parents watch from very nice work

here are the ground rules when you come

in here you leave the outside world

behind that includes Friends movies

School problems you name it they're all

distractions I work you hard and I'm

tough a lot tougher than you're used to

you may want to quit and you can at any

time I want you to know that but once

you quit I can't work with you again I

have too many people on my waiting list

to waste my time while you make up your

mind right

sometimes the girls get

upset sometimes the parents get

upset so I have another

rule no parents on the

floor no matter what you stay up in the

viewing room or in the

lobby

money I'm afraid we don't come cheap

living expenses and Basics 30,000 a year

tutors choreographers are extra anyway

it's the way we do things around

here bottom line I'd love to have Katie

on the

team she's welcome

I think it's time we take her

choreography up to the Next Level

choreography is not my

strength has Pamela talked to you about

lehan yeah he sounded expensive he is

but Le is the best he designed Dana's

floor routine when she won the

Nationals I realize it's a lot of money

nobody would think any the worse if you

said no well let me talk to my

husband of

course I know all this is a major

sacrifice I never lose sight of that you

Merry

Christmas

Diana Diana hi oh honey hi honey um is

her car problems a well it was fun we

had a great talk I would have liked to

heard that

you're welcome

[Applause]

bye how long have you been living

here couple of

weeks before that we lived in the car

where's Diana's mother I have no idea

when Diana started taking off in

gymnastics she couldn't handle it she

wanted a dependent little deaf girl not

a world class

gymnast so you came instead she needed a

parent I thought I could keep selling

stocks from down here but it's a pretty

tough racket you have to hustle full

time so I sold our house and everything

we own to support her training

[Music]

David let me tell your story no

embellishments just the truth I don't

want people feeling sorry for us no it

doesn't have to be like that you have

nothing to be ashamed of people will be

inspired I need to

go we were supposed to have coffee today

[Music]

H well the car's almost fixed how about

tomorrow thanks

again okay I don't understand I thought

you were all for this well I was but I

didn't expect the mortgage my life

thought she was just going to train and

eat and go to school no one said

anything about an expensive

choreographer well there's more a

private tutor

what what does she need a private tutor

for so she can spend more time at the

gym the girls at her level work out 6

seven hours a day and what's a tutor

cost another 400 a

week oh Jee what is

this Katie

t look at you you look wonderful it's so

good to see you guess what I'm going to

be on a magazine cover next month pretty

hot stuff

Hi how are you hi oh everything's just

been going so great I'm doing moves I

never even heard of before I've gotten

so much better you wouldn't even believe

it I'm glad to hear that yeah you'll

have to excuse Katie she's feeling a

little full of herself these days daddy

she didn't mean anything little modesty

with her but it sounds like it's going

well there's a big Invitational coming

up Katie's hoping to make the team oh

yeah the pyramid I'm going to be there

myself listen maybe we can get together

for some ice cream or for dinner oh I'm

sorry I think I think we're going to be

busy Greg has us on a morning through

night schedule plus I I don't even know

if I'm going yet well it was just an

idea

yeah take care of yourself was so good

to see

you okay I'll see you later

byebye good seeing you you too M you

want to say

this this beautiful

you hardly said a word at dinner

tonight I can't believe Katie acted that

way Terry was great to her she could

find time for her instead of going out

with her friends

tonight I'm talking about corporate

sponsors and how Terry was holding her

back whatever happened to our sweet

little Katie she's acting like some

self-centered primadana she's 14 years

old old this isn't adolescence this is

selfishness you want her to stop she's

learning some lessons now she's learning

you can get what you want if you work

hard enough I think she can wait a while

for that one not in gymnastics they're

over the hill at 19 by the time she's

ready to grow up the ship will have

sailed where is that

star perfection

burn that word into your

brains you are

Perfection when you practice every move

on every apparatus absolutely

perfect if you Shuffle even the

slightest you get back up you do it

again and

again if there's a flaw the tiniest flaw

you correct it

instantly but that's not enough is it

is

it anyone can achieve perfection in a

gym well almost

anyone the trick is to do it under

pressure so from now

on every move and every event in your

minds is in the Olympic

finals everybody

your family your coaches your teammates

your

country is counting on you if you

fail you fail all of us it works well it

seems like a lot of pressure doesn't

it well it is it's an incredible amount

of pressure but if you can handle it you

can handle

anything even the World Championships

will seem like a piece of

cake think about it

[Music]

you are not in the front row

yet excuse me you belong back

[Music]

there David and I were just talking to

you your daughter is not on the gold

team only parents on the gold team get

to sit in the front row yeah well that

begin with she may be the fair-haired

girl for now but she is not on the gold

team not until Greg says she is is I'm

not moving Tina then I'll move you

[Music]

[Music]

myself I haven't been in a fight like

that since

kindergarten talk about passive

aggressive how are you

I know I'm not getting on your bad

side do that mean I can do the story

you're

Relentless I kind of prefer just staying

out of the spotlight there's a lot of

attention on Diana as it

is I respect that for what it's worth I

really admire

you God you have given up for your

daughter's dream you're doing the same

thing you're a single parent you sold

your house you quit your job and Diana

what she's overcome I want people to

know about

that you should write about that look in

Tina's eye there's your story I mean she

lost it completely

[Music]

it just the two of us today Tina

well there'll be new ones here this

afternoon looks like Greg has big plans

for your

daughter you want to go all the way

right World Championships

Olympics yeah you need more

difficulty you know what your vault is

worth under the new code of points what

nothing absolutely

nothing it's not enough to compete

against the Russians or the Romanians no

matter how way you do

it now your chenko full is

good you do it with a double you'd have

a shot at to metal so we're going to

work up to it bit by

bit look like Katie is going to work on

her

Yenko you

scared yeah because of

Dana yes we're going to warm up the

Vault there's maybe a dozen girls in the

world who compete this Vault You' be one

of them in a few Mon's time you just got

to trust me okay okay let's

go we're going to start with

FS come on come on let's go we don't

have all

[Music]

day powerful

strong round

[Music]

off what the hell was that I don't want

to ever see you bail out like that again

Greg i'm shut up gymnastics is about

staring down your fear you can't stare

it down you can't survive at this level

I can teach you everything I know you're

the the only one who can overcome that

fear I'm going to go into my office for

10 minutes I'm going to come out and

we'll see if you're ready to work Greg

what and know I'm

sorry I picked you because I saw steel

inside don't show me that I was wrong

[Music]

Katie I can't do this honey you don't

have to yes I do he said so and I want

to do it don't even try it nothing this

soon after Dana I have to I don't have

any

choice I'm going to talk to him no honey

this isn't about training techniques or

Diet this is about your safety it's my

responsibility to draw the line

somewhere

it's your responsibility to stay out of

the

way you don't get it do you maom you are

not in charge

anymore then who

is

me and Greg

Allison we need to

talk

sure you like some coffee no thank

you I'm extremely concerned about Katie

and this new move you're teaching

her what about

it well I know you're the coach and you

know best but she's

afraid she's strong she'll do

it I don't want her to

try it's not your

decision Katie is doing beautifully

she's on her way to becoming a

champion what's the

problem I just don't want this to become

some kind of survival course the way it

was for Dana

meaning I heard Dana had a problem with

her back and that her doctors had

advised her to stop and that you knew

about it of course I did it was all out

in the

open and you let her compete

anyway wasn't up to

me I'm not the doctor I'm not the parent

once a girl steps out on the mat I do

everything in my power to make her a

champion with no responsibility for her

well-being this is the safest program in

the country my only responsibility is to

make her the best she possibly can

be Winning is Everything

well isn't that why you're here so that

Katie could go to the Olympics and

fulfill her

dreams and

yours there has to be another

way these are still children with fears

and worries they don't know any better

emotional development is none of my

concern how can you say

that then you're just exploiting I'm not

exploiting anybody I'm doing what you

and the other parents pay me to do

I train your daughters I teach them I

work with them I make them

great that's not good enough what about

watching out for them I thought that's

why you were

here I have 50 girls to work with they

each have their own routine their own

strengths their own Neurosis I have to

develop and motivate and polish each one

I don't have time to be anybody's parent

now if you'll excuse me I have some

applications to go through

hi hey you're breaking a

rule yeah I know sometimes you have to

do

that I told the janitor I'd lock up

great

Katie we're going

home great I have a ton of homework

after no I mean home home to your father

and your dog and our house were all

packed look mom I know you talk to Greg

but don't you think you're overreacting

just a little no he brought me to my

senses pills weight loss

injuries I don't know how I could have

closed my eyes the way I

did that's all over now you mean it

don't you you really want to take me

away from all this oh yeah as soon as

possible and what do I do for a coach or

a gym you could go back to

or find someone else who cares about you

but you're not staying here any

longer I'm not going with you I'm afraid

you are I'll move in with Greg or Pamela

or maybe one of the other girls if Greg

radkin understands anything it's bad

publicity I already have the headline

fanatic coach tears daughter away from

parents he won't take you Katie I

guarantee

it well what why are you doing

this look at

yourself you've lost weight you have

circles under your eyes you've stopped

menstrating you go through two bottles

of aspirin a week worst of all you've

lost your joy for what you're

doing you used to love it now it's like

combat

honey it's time to call a halt and what

gives you the right to call a halt to my

life your mother that's what gives me

the right for a while I was trying to be

your friend that's not what you

needed you can't just order me to stop

not after all the work that I've put

into this I don't want it to be in order

I hoped you'd

understand whether you do or not we're

leaving this is my dream I've worked for

this day and night I've given up

everything can't do this I

don't you are one wonderful at

it I am in awe of your

talent that's what makes this so hard

this is not fair it's not

fair I hate you Mom I really really

do I don't care if you hate me for the

rest of your

life we're going home

[Music]

here let me help

you hello

[Music]

she's going to try everything in the

book

to get us to change our minds you know

back each

other even if we don't

agree start acting like parents
