The criteria is that it should go to one who has shown dedication and commitment to the club.
"I've enjoyed learning off more experienced coaches in the club and developing my own coaching skills," Davey said.
"It's very rewarding being able to put my own experience and knowledge into the gymnasts and seeing them improve and achieve.
"It has been the thing that has helped me to relax during the stresses of organising the trip."
Davey has come full circle as she joined the Wanganui club at the age of 4, starting competitions two years later under coach Susan Crawshaw.
At age 8, she went to the first of what would be eight NZ Nationals in the women's artistic category.
Davey finished with artistic competition when she turned 16, entering into trampoline events.
She is now coaching artistic herself with juniors at level 1.
She went back to the nationals for trampoline and also competed in aerobics for a year, coming first in the senior open women's event at the nationals.
Davey studied health science at the University of Otago for a year, before coming home to work as a fulltime lifeguard and work towards the scholarship. While doing that, she kept coaching aerobics, recreational trampoline, step 1 and step 3 gym, and the tumbling squad.
She qualified for nationals again and also competed at the recent Masters Games, where she was first in the women's artistic and trampoline categories.
The trip to Denmark will be her first outside of New Zealand and she is heading to a top environment.
Ollerup houses students to learn a variety of indoor and outdoor sports and coaching techniques, including all kinds of gymsports.
Members of the Danish gymnastics elite performance team are mostly selected from Ollerup.
