USTA National Campus Championship

My older bro (picture above with him in the front of my home for 3 days: tent, treatment table, fire extinguisher, and sign…what more does a girl need?!) is the National Campus Coordinator for the United States Tennis Association.  After hearing I was being laid off, he kinda shrugged it off and told me that I would land on my feet (cause that is what we Streets do :) ), and then he asked if I wanted to fly to Arizona for a few days.  The USTA National Camus Championship he was hosting in Surprise, Arizona just had their ATC back out and they were searching for one. Seeing how my schedule has opened up, I accepted and had an amazing time!  3 days (Thursday thru Saturday) of working from 7am to 11pm and it was spectacular!

I could not have asked for a more perfect experience.  It was exactly what I needed after the last month of working in Marquette It reminded me of why I went into athletic training and why I absolutely love what I do! 

Before heading to the airport on Sunday morning, Justin, his boss Glenn, and myself headed to the Ben AveryShooting Range This was my first time at a shooting range shooting Trapp and it was a lot of fun!!!  Needless to say non of us thought about how we were shooting guns for 4 hours before we all headed to the airport…whoops!  But nothing came of it…whew!  Before heading to the airport after a morning of shotguns, we grabbed lunch at the In and Out Burger.  This was my first, but will not be my last In and Out Burger experience..mmm :)
