National TOPS A Team Camp!

So Jaz had an amazing week at TOPS A Camp. She learned so much and made new friends and saw old ones. JJ said she performed well and improved as the week went on. Thanks JJ for taking good care of her. 

Jaz and JJ flew in Monday morning. I had to get Jaz up at 3:30am then pick up JJ and get them to the airport for their 6am flight.  On the flight Jaz was randomly sitting across the aisle from her closest friend from B Camp last year Kalista!  What a coincidence!  So JJ gave up his seat and they buddied up.  What a great way to start off the week.  Smiles all around.  Once they made it to the ranch it was immediately into the TOPS strength test.  Rough test for Jaz after getting up at 3:30.  But JJ said she did well.  Better than he expected after the long day.  The next 3 days were full of 4 hour double sessions each day.  Jaz was sore but loving it and able to laugh and giggle with me and JJ about it at the end. I flew in Wednesday and was able to observe the final training session Thursday.  I was so proud watching her train there.  It really makes all of these crazy sacrifices worth it.  This is what she's meant to do for sure.  We had a great night with JJ after camp ended Thursday night sharing stories over some Texas grub at Saltgrass Steak House.   Jaz was out like a light dreaming of gymnastics I'm sure as soon as she took a quick shower and laid down in the hotel room. Up early again to catch flights Friday but a great week with great memories!

Here are the initial pictures from my phone.  Camera pictures will follow later once I get them off the memory card.  Sorry everyone there are no training videos or pictures allowed to be posted. What happens at The Ranch stays at The Ranch is the policy. I guess thats why the USA is the best in the world!
