Brad Cattermole Quotations

We were trying to see if she should compete or not and it kind of came down to her. She's a tough kid, she's such a competitor.

We're a better team than what we performed tonight. We finished with a little energy on beam and did very well.

Bars were a good event for us tonight. It wasn't something they are incapable of. They just came out and hit their routines. I was very pleased.

There aren't too many teams out there that we can't compete with, if we hit all our routines as well as we can. There are teams that are clearly ranked higher than we are, but all you can do is go in and throw out the best game that you can throw out there and see how that ranks up against everyone else.

Our goal in these meets is to get in and perform the way we practiced. Tonight was pretty close to the way we practice.

We will all commit to do better from here on. We're happy to be going and look forward to competing.

We got through it. Going in I was concerned with a couple things I'm not concerned about now though. We're just trying to get ourselves better.

Those are two very good and extremely talented teams. Our main concern is sticking our routines though. I'm not concerned about who wins the meet. We just need to score well.

We worked hard this week in practice on our vaults and it showed.

We as coaches need to take some responsibility for preparing our girls. It's not a matter of physically being able to perform, but getting it through your head that you can.

When you look at the rankings, the bottom four teams are all within a fall of beating each other. If the third team has a fall and we don't, we can beat them.

We did a good job tonight. We were a little shaky at times, but overall we did well. We're starting to move in the right direction. The girls are staying positive and working very hard.

We didn't hit on all of our routines. Last week it was vault that we struggled on, this week it was bars.

The scores were there to get, you just have to stay on the equipment. We were not mentally tough enough to play tonight. In this game, you've got to stay mentally tough, or you're going to find yourself lying on your back looking up from the floor quite a bit.

This is another meet that provides a big crowd and a good chance to do well. We need to focus on what we are doing and keep getting better.

It wasn't really her fault, but the end result was she didn't have the consistency that she needed to develop to where she needed to be. She had to pick it up in college, which is a very hard thing to do. When you are in college, doing college work, getting married and looking at graduating, it is hard to pick up everything that you missed before, and gain all the stuff that you are supposed to learn in college.

It should be a very good meet. The girls should be mentally and physically ready to go.
