What We Really Do as Gymnastics Teachers



Last month I wrote an article about easy ways to reward employees. I outlined many ways you
could help workers feel valued and appreciated. There is no dismissing the importance of a smile,
a thank you or a pat on the back. Perhaps the most essential reward an employee can receive is
one that they can give themselves. The most vital reward is the intrinsic reward of simply feeling
good about what we do because we recognize the true value of what we do. How do we
accomplish the warm-fuzzies when all we do is "teach cartwheels?"

Let's take a look at what we do. Patty PreSchool Teacher runs around and sings songs and plays
with little kids all morning; Betty Beam Choreographer dances around all afternoon helping kids
walk straight and point their toes; Victor Vault Coach stands around spotting handsprings all
evening. When asked about what they do, most gymnastics instructors answer with things like, "I
teach gymnastics" or "I coach level 5" or "I'm a preschool movement educator."
