I was surprised that they did not throw around names or systems during the camp sessions. Lots of the campers were pretty rigid about what they'd been taught or not taught to do. The instructors were somewhat flexible about how people executed the movements. I did get grief about using my outside arm to cue rear crosses, which was understandable because it makes front cross cues confusing. Though I'm much more likely to execute a correctly timed rear than a correctly timed front. There was good information on teaching blind crosses and working stays as a motivation for focus and drive. The only time name dropping and systems showed up prominently was during the Q and A session. These three have been around a long time and it was nice to see them being progressive over all.
