Kim Zmeskal On Dreaming So Big to Achieve Excellence Over Perfection


Listen Later

At the age of 6, Kim Zmeskal watched her first gymnastics class and was upset that she, “wasn’t allowed to play on the playground.” A few years later, training under Bela and Martha Karolyi, Mary Lou Retton came back to their home gym with an Olympic Gold medal showing her early on that any dream was possible.  Since then, Kim has become the first American to win the all-around at a World Gymnastics Championships in 1991, 2X Gold medalist in the 1992 World championships, 1992 Olympic Bronze Medalist, 3X US National Champion, 1991 U.S. Olympic Committee’s Sportswoman of the Year and the 1991 March of Dimes Athlete of the Year. She is also a 2001 USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame inductee.

As an athlete, she worked hard to remove challenges and always strived for perfection. Now as a coach, she is passionate to learn more than she ever thought possible about trust, partnership, and appreciation for her athletes. She leans into the challenges and creates a culture where her athletes dream so big that they can achieve excellence over perfection.
