2013 World Championships - Sofia, Bulgaria

Shelby is coming home with a Gold Medal around her neck as part of the USA Women's Double Mini Team.  After two very long weeks training and preparing in both US and Sofia - the women's Team HIT every pass in prelims and were almost perfect in Team finals to out score the rest of the world by over two full points!  Shelby was solid in her training and competing and she completed her Team assignment by hitting both prelims passes on the world stage.

Right after the awards were over and we had a second to breathe it all in... So very proud of her and what all of the Team USA girls did at this amazing World Championships...

THEY MADE HISTORY AND ARE RETURNING HOME WITH THE GOLD!!!

Double Mini Gold!

Both the US men's and women's double-mini teams will be bringing home gold from the 29th World Championships being held in Bulgaria.  The women's team broke the world record for highest team score. Air Sports athlete Shelby Gill is pictured fourth from the left.

We all had an amazing week together training, preparing, and polishing up routines & passes for World Championships!  Team USA is going to ROCK!

Personally I am thrilled to have been apart of this training camp and part of the USA National Team Coaches - what a great group of people!!! All the hard work and endless hours are done - now it is time to travel to Sofia Bulgaria and perform to the best of their abilities...

Go Team USA!

Air Sports Goes to State 2013

A Retrospective of the Amazing 2012-2103 Regular Season
Good luck to all our Air Sports athletes at the State Meet!!

Roumen returns to coach at Air Sports...look at this Team of Smiling Faces!  Thanks for your help preparing this amazing Team of Athletes for the 2013 State Championships.  Roumen you are a Great friend and I LOVE having you at the gym!  Thanks for your kind words, endless support, and for caring about these AWESOME kids...

On the journey to the top we successfully achieved a place on the USA National Trampoline & Double Mini Team with a photo now overlooking the training center.  These special athletes must Risk more than most, Dare to do more than most, and Dream bigger than those before them...(Noah is top row far right - inside the OTC in Texas))

Over the season we kept our Teammates close, we trained hard and with direction & focus, we also played hard, and we formed friendships that will last a life time...

The Air Sports Athletes competed with some of the best in the sport this season.  We traveled to far off states to be challenged and to place ourselves in situations that will force us to learn, grow, and become better at everything we are doing...

In ALL that we do and during all the time & energy that goes into each and every practice...we keep our eyes on the Prize and we keep "looking" towards the future.  Anything can happen - Anything is possible...

During the development of Great Athletes the most important part of all of this is to become Great People!  To understand true Sportsmanship.  To stay united and together as a moving, working, breathing Team.  To lead by example while helping those around us.  To Learn all we can about joy & happiness, pain & fear, the differences in one another, and to learn to live with a bit more LOVE!  To better fully understand how very lucky we are to live in the United States of America and live with Freedom!   It is Great Athletes & People doing Great Things that will make a better tomorrow...

Although there is always a little "static" in our lives...we choose to be Happy and Smile to move us to a better place.  It is one Key element to this Team...we are Happy to train and we are Smiling in ALL that we must do to be our Very Best!  We enjoy the process, take on the challenge, and over come it all.  We FIND a way to succeed...

And after a long challenging season of competing from Arizona to Utah to Texas and more trips to the OTC then I can remember...we have found a way to "Rise to the Top" at each and every stop!  The Air Sports Athletes & Families have formed a Team Bond that is without question one of the strongest T&T Programs in the US.  This season Air Sports WON at every competition we attended, we learned what we needed, and we gained the "winning edge"; so as I look towards this weekends State Championships...I am extremely confident, proud, and prepared that the Air Sports Athletes will yet again perform at their Personal Best and Rise to the Top!!!
GOOD LUCK to all the Air Sports Athletes this weekend!
Goooooooo For the Gold!!!

Trampoline National Team Training Camp

 We had a wonderful USA Team Training Camp inside the OTC last weekend.  It was extra special because Coach Phil was again invited and he attended the training camp with us - and Phil and I were roommates during it all:)

I am so very Proud of Noah and how hard he worked during this camp.  He was pushed pushed pushed during several long days to jump higher, flip faster, and to combine different skills together to create new exciting warm ups & routines.

He was challenged physically by Olympians Logan & Steven; he was challenged emotionally by the members of the USA National Team; he was challenged personally to be his very Best while wearing USA proudly across his chest.

We have a very strong USA National Team. The Athletes are very good and very focused on the goal of success at this year's World Championships & World Age-Group Championships.

They have set their goals, they are aiming high, and training each and everyday for future success...

Keep up the hard work Noah!
Keep TRAINING harder then the rest, AIMING higher then the best, and DREAMING bigger then those before you...


I really like this picture...
Noah looking ahead to whats to come...
