James Harrison posted on twitter that he felt participation trophies were wrong, because the child did not actually achieve anything. This post has caused a major controversy across the United States. Some parents agree with Harrison and say that participation trophies create a false sense of achievement, which stops their child from trying hard later on. I, however, disagree. Participation awards help kids feel like they had a

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.

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

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
