Texas Dreams Staff

Since opening in 2001, Texas Dreams Gymnastics has produced gymnasts that have excelled at all levels of the sport from AA Champions at District Championships to State, Regional and National Champions to NCAA National Champions to USA National Team Members who competed at the Olympic Trials and earned a spot on the 2008 U.S. Women's Olympic Training Team.

None of this would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our coaching staff. Many of our staff members have been with Texas Dreams since the gym opened. Others have relocated from all over the United States to coach at Texas Dreams. It is the dedication of these professionals and our office staff that make our program so successful.

Kim Zmeskal Burdette and Chris Burdette, Directors

Before starting their own program, Kim Zmeskal Burdette and Chris Burdette traveled the country to capture the best-of-the-best coaching practices and they have put them into action as the Directors of Texas Dreams Gymnastics. Kim and Chris founded this program on the philosophy of "DREAM" - Dedication Rewards Each Athlete's Mission.

Kim Zmeskal was always a big dreamer and her dedication to her sport is certainly evident in the all of her achievements. Kim was the 1st American gymnast to win a World All-Around Championship. She is a three-time World Champion, an Olympic medalist, and a USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame member. She is a Brevet Level USA Gymnastics Judge - this allows her to judge at the international level.

Chris is a National Team coach and has coached alongside some of gymnastics' best coaches, including Bela and Martha Karolyi, and Mary Lee Tracy. In addition to coaching, Chris is active in USAG committees and gives clinics and workshops on various aspects of the sport.

Even though Kim and Chris are in the gym everyday coaching the Dream Team, which are their Elite and Elite hopeful gymnasts, they stay very involved in all levels of Texas Dreams Gymnastics. It is not uncommon to hear one of them congratulating a Level 4 gymnast on getting a new skill or celebrating that first kip. Chris can be found playing jokes on his coaches or laughing with some kids. And Kim stays connected with every optional gymnast by personally choosing music selections and choreographing each floor routine. This year, that is 50 plus routines.

One of Kim and Chris' proudest accomplishments is the fact that every athlete that has graduated high school while training at Texas Dreams Gymnastics have gone on to get a full NCAA Athletic Scholarship to a Division I school.

- USA Olympic Team Training Squad Member
