Training Camp in Knoxville is going well. We have been here for seven days so far. Everyone is working hard. We all work to make improvements and perfect certain things. Yesterday we got the afternoon off, which was nice to relax. I have to pack again soon because we leave the country soon for a second training camp. I'm really excited and just trying to enjoy every minute and have fun!
