Message: [QUOTE="Sudano, post: 1453803, member: 822"] The trophy isn't the issue its the unbalanced, out of whack value we give to the trophy given to little kids. For some reason we think a participation trophy is like giving a little kid a thousand praises, and a first team, first place, MVP, you're the greatest player, kid, person in the world. I remember getting participation trophies growing up some had 1st Place or champions on the bottom if we won the league. My parents would say 'hey they gave you a trophy, good job and then moved on to real life. Let the kid decide the value of the trophy, some put it up on a shelf to remind them of the good times with friends and learning a sport and success. [/QUOTE]
