The Gabby Douglas Story Page #3
Hawkins. Natalie.
Natalie, hi. Dirk.
No, rec class is just tumbling.
It's for beginners.
How much training has she had?
None, unless you want to count climbing on
all the furniture and breaking half of it.
None?
Wow.
TOPs for six months, then Dev.
That's what I was thinking.
Elite in five years.
Mom, look!
What's her name?
Uh, Gabrielle Douglas.
Gabby Douglas.
Here's your lunch.
I want you to eat it all this time,
not just the snacks.
Coach said if I do good in TOPs,
I'll get invited to training camp.
Well. "If I do well."
Mom, training camp is with the Karolyis.
Mary Lou Retton's coach,
Bela Karolyi!
Okay, okay. But, listen, Breezy,
I want you to eat all your lunch.
How are you gonna get strong
if you don't eat all your lunch?
Here you go.
Are you coming?
Have I ever missed a competition?
Is John gonna be there?
John has basketball practice,
Arie has cheer practice, and Joy has
an ice-skating lesson in half an hour.
I got to get them there.
See you!
Love you, Mom! Bye!
I love you, too, Breezy!
Never seen a lady
in a robe before?
Yeah, I don't
think this prescription
is working any better
than the last one.
Yeah, the migraines
are getting worse.
Yeah. Nauseous,
light-sensitive.
I feel like one
is coming on now.
Oh. More sleep?
With four kids?
That's not gonna happen.
You got to concentrate.
This is one of the most
important skills in gymnastics.
Why? Because the kip involves coordination,
timing, and strength.
Now, some of you are
having problems with it,
but you'll get there.
Unless you're too short.
As long as you focus
on the fundamentals
and do your drills.
I want to see that...
Mom told me life wasn't
always gonna be a day at the beach.
She said I should let her know
if anyone said mean things.
But it all starts
with concentration.
Lucy, show us how it's done.
Okay. All right.
You need to work on that upper body.
Strong finish.
Gabby, you're up.
But I didn't tell my mom.
I had my own way.
Yes! Perfect.
Now, that's the kip.
So, again, if y'all don't have
what it takes to master the kip,
you don't have what it
takes to be a gymnast.
So explain this to me again.
You're charging the kids money
Tricks, flips and cartwheels.
You can't take
their lunch money!
We're not taking it.
They're giving it to us.
I got $2 for a back walkover.
I don't care. Tomorrow,
you take this back,
and you give them
every penny back.
What?
Mom!
No, it's not open
for discussion.
I need to lie down.
What's happening now?
I think she's crying.
It's my fault for
taking the money.
No, it's not.
Is too!
