(3). The Reward System - Incentives
"Cyclones" Status-Big Brother-Big sister program-Black and Purple Tornado-Cyclone Shirts:

The program is Evolve Performance. The team is the Cyclones. This is a training program but is more specifically a training team because of the benefits of synergy and support from one another.
Customer versus Cyclone Status: Customer is going to train with the group for a fee after screening. Each new participant is assigned a veteran member of the program as a Big Brother/Big Sister. They guide and help develop the new participant. Take care of each other. When the new athlete reaches a point where they're playing a role in strongly contributing to raise the bar of physical and character development of the team, the Big Brother bestows the new athlete a Black and Purple Cyclone Shirt as being symbolic that you're no longer a customer, You're a Cyclone now, and you're part of the team. The bestowing is ceremonial when the Big Brother/Big Sister gets in front of the team and the Big Brother/Big Sister and Coach will recognize their efforts and contributions and they are be presented black and purple Cyclone shirt.
“Key to your dreams”

We give each competitor a key with no cuts on it to begin the training period and they keep it over their career. Every 6 weeks we put a single into the key. The key is symbolic, that that key can unlock your dreams. Anything you want. And that hard work pays.

“H&M and Gift Cards Reward”
Participants that exhibit exemplary attendance and academics are rewarded with a High-End clothing Gift Card or the option of another Gift Card of their choice of equal value. This is typically 90% Session Attendance Rate and a 3.0 or higher GPA. Participants that improve their GPA 1 whole grade point in a semester also qualify for Gift Card Reward.
"Worker of the Month Playlist Reward”

Participants are rewarded as workers who display outstanding work ethic, and awarded worker of the month status, and as a reward, they get to have their playlist played during warm-ups.
