Punish?

Once upon a time, there was an inter-club skating competition between clubs "Lenient" and "Strict" at the premises of club "Strict".

The parents of club "Lenient" skaters observed that the skaters of club "Strict", even the littlest ones, had extremely good form, stance and were able to bend double and skate through the length of events as long as 1 km. So they mentioned this to the coaches of club "Lenient". The coaches lamented that parents did not co-operate and complained if their children were punished.

Is punishment the only way for children to excel at sport? Surely there must be another way?
