- Kimberly Hart's gymnastics coach (since 322-DSP1)
321-FCab
Gunthar Schmidt was a world-famous coach who was
coming to Angel Grove to do some scouting
for his Pan Global gymnastics team.
322-DSP1
Coach Schmidt came to the Youth Center and watched Kim practice gymnastics.
Coach Schmidt somehow knew Kim's name.
Coach Schmidt wanted to discuss Kim's training with her coach, but when she said
she didn't have one, he offered to personally train her for the Pan Global trials, but he told her she
couldn't let anything come between her and their practice.
Coach Schmidt had trained quite a few gold
medalists in past Pan Global Games.
Coach Schmidt was shown training Kim by the lake and in a gymnastics facility,
over an indeterminate amount of time.
Kim brought Coach
Schmidt to the Juice Bar to try one of Ernie's special protein shakes.
When Kim's communicator beeped during practice, she
told Coach Schmidt there was something really important that she'd
forgotten to do; he reminded Kim that it was
important that she remained on schedule and that his time was very
limited, then told her to address any second thoughts she might be
having.
Coach Schmidt heard Kim's communicator beep two separate times before
she left in the middle of practice.
Suspecting that Coach Schmidt was actually
international spy Johann Gauss (whose description Coach Schmidt somewhat
matched), Bulk and Skull pretended to be
gymnasts seeking Coach Schmidt's training for the Pan Global Games so that they could
casually ask him a few questions.
That night, Kim turned
down Tommy's offer to spot for her during her
gymnastics practice in the Youth Center
because she thought Coach Schmidt might join her; Coach Schmidt left a
message with Ernie that he had an appointment
but that she should keep practicing, so she practiced alone and
ultimately lost her balance, knocking herself out and getting her
checked into a hospital.
323-DSP2
In the hospital the next morning, Coach
Schmidt apologized to Tommy, blaming himself for
Kim's condition.
324-DSP3
Coach Schmidt was among the guests at the
surprise party for Kim in the Youth Center at least a day after she'd won
the Pan Global trials.
Coach Schmidt told Kim
she was by far the best athlete he'd ever coached.
Coach Schmidt invited Kim to his facility in Florida to train
full-time to compete in the Pan Global
Games; she accepted his offer.
