Is giving trophies to kids that play sports just for participating good for the child also is winning everything?I've seen people not try on my football team but they don't give all they got but everyone knows that no matter if we make the playoffs or the championship everyone is going to get a trophy for participating.I think that you need to stop giving trophies because it doesn't teach them to work harder to achieve a certain goal or just being the best team. I think that winning isn't everything

useless? Participation awards lose there value. These trophies cost much for the sports organizations. Also these participation trophies don't motivate youth athletes s much as parents think they do. Yes theses trophies can give motivation, but so can a simple thumbs up from coach. According to the "Trophies for All" policy, youth athletes are being awarded with participation trophies. Trophies should be given for the final outcome, not for just showing up. Participation awards lose their value

My First 1st Place Trophy! The first trophy that I have ever gotten was when I was nine years old. I won it at a wrestling tournament, “Show Me Nationals!” I remember this moment like it was yesterday. It was my second year wrestling when I got this trophy. I had to win a 64 man bracket, wrestling in total 6 matches in two days, 9 or more matches if I would have lost, thank GOD I didn’t. This trophy was a bit taller than me at the time, 3”9! The trophy was 4”7, so I wanted to carry it everywhere

genuine enjoyment. Happiness and joy are also vital parts of a well-lived life, even if nothing is actually achieved from those activities of joy. I never achieved much in track, my times stayed consistent, and I never got a different colored ribbon or award. But I enjoyed the experience all the same. Just as life is about the journey, life is also about the twists and turns, the pit stops, the U-turns, the layovers, the delays, and all the “wasted” time. As Bertrand Russell once said, “The time you enjoy

Persuasive writing: Why There Should Not Be Participation Trophies? “ Participation trophies send a dangerous message… We Are All Winners!” Said by -Betty Berden is completely true. We are telling the kids that it's ok to lose, and that you don't need to improve. We are telling them that you don't need to improve, because you will still get a trophy anyway. I believe that there shouldn’t be participation trophies, because it gives a negative impact, causing a self-obsessed, irresponsible, and unmotivated

I walked proudly up to the stage to retrieve my first place trophy. I was on the verge of sprinting to the stage and snatching the trophy and just hug it till it broke, but I remembered to stay calm. In my mind, I was filled with butterflies and thought no one would have the same trophy. So close to the stage only to see that everyone else got the same trophy just for participating. I felt embarrassed for getting my hopes up to high. Although trophies are a great way to make someone feel good, you

participates a participation trophy is not the best thing to do. It shows that by just doing something and not actually trying, someone can still get an award, and it doesn’t let the kids who actually tried and deserve an award stand out. Giving trophies to kids who participate should be stopped. It shows children they don’t have to work to get an award and get noticed. James Harrison said, “I have two sons, ages 8 and 6. Just the other day I took my son's' "participation trophies" away from them. I

Participation Trophy When you're dribbling down the court and suddenly lose the ball, do you think you should deserve a participation award for that? I think they don’t deserve a trophy because they are entitled to everything, makes them feel special, and the hard workers receive the same trophy including first, second, or third place. Even though you may have strived for the best of your ability without coming on top, we still all want a trophy of some sort. Some of us have received a participation

the article “Losing is Good for You”, Ashely Merryman claims that children should not be given awards for something not worth an award such as participation. She states that our youth should not be put under the illusion that winning is as easy as one, two, three. Based on her information, receiving an achievement should be earned instead of given. She stresses the fact that constant praise and awards for possible effortless doings will result in a mindset that believes that putting effort into something

Too many Trophies? Do we give children too many trophies? According to Bob cook a sports father of four, “when it comes to participation trophies in my experience kids know the score.” Therefore at the end of the day, a trophy for involvement is a gift, and children are aware. Based on the facts and anecdotal evidence we are not giving children too many trophies. These pieces of plastic are a source of memorabilia. In addition, the trophy does not reflect the kid’s attitude towards hard work. All
