I actually laughed out loud. I'm 43 years old, and I would definitely be motivated by killer new office supplies! I *puffy heart* office supplies... pens, sticky notes, cute clips, sharpies, YES! :cheering:I'll admit to bribing IOC6 teams. Nothing major, but if they managed to get through a practice without a coach telling them to stop talking, mini chocolate bars for all. You hit your elite for the first time? Gel pens for your group.
You'd be shocked what kind of determination 20 year olds have to get a mini Oh Henry.
no thats just an awesome coach :cool:Does a taco party for getting zero deductions at comp count as our coaches bribing us? :oops:
Our coach got us Popsicles at the last practice if we tried our best and fought for stunts then at nationals we got told if we fought hard and were clean we would have them. For a team of over 16 's the motivation was realno thats just an awesome coach :cool:

I don't have a problem with a reward of Starbucks (or whatever) for a job well done, but I think it becomes a problem when a parent (or coach) is bribing their child with miss me jeans, $100 dollars (or some other excessive amount), or some insane gift as a bribe for throwing a full (or focusing, or making a certain team, or whatever it may be).
I "bribed" my j1 with stickers last year. They didn't get anything for getting the sticker but they loved getting stickers on their chart.
My gym also does goal charts for each competition. After each competition, we sit down with the team and come up with goals for our next competition based on how the previous competition went. I think this worked really well for us last season so I assume we will do this again.
When I threw my full for the first time by myself, my mom literally SCREAMED in the lobby of the gym because she was so excited (and shocked I finally did it) for me. My coach hugged me. That was better than anything she could have bought me.
