He's definitely coming along now. Still, the coach in me wants to see consistency, game after game.

We need bigger volume. We need consistency of the 2-1 [breadth].

Brittany pitched a good game. But we didn't do a good job of making plays behind her with consistency.

While I was very pleased with our consistency, hitting 23 of 24 competitive routines and 6-for-6 in exhibition routines, our execution still needs work. We gave away far too many deductions for missed handstands on bars and steps on landings on all four events.

Steve said it will take two to three years with the same coaching staff to be able to do things like that regularly.

We're from two opposite backgrounds, but whatever's inside of him, from his core growing up, there's a quality I like in that he enjoys the game still as a kid. I think that's important at this level, because at this level the pressures are there. They will always be there, but as long as you see that core enjoyment of the game, I think that's important.
