One of the big things the gym does is whats called a 'Power Camp'. It's the tumbling camps they do over the summer. There's several weeks, and its something like 9-5. I know when I was still at the gym the coaches would try and motivate us so much to go to tumbling camps. Some summers I would go to multiple camps because they were seriously so much fun. They have this 'marking' system. If you do something great or impress your station coach, you get a mark. Each coach has a signature sharpie color and a signature design and they mark your arm. It's kind of a contest to see who improves the most over the week's camp. They gave out prizes and such as motivation to keep trying so you could get marks. was one of the coolest camp things ever!

I think it's a psychological phenomenon. With the immense talent pool they have, the kids push the other kids. The coaches are there to teach technique, but I honestly think the kids are who do the motivating :)
