" My daughter rarely showed up for the soccer team. She had a terrible attitude," "At the end, she got a giant trophy and would have been devasted had she not. " Playing a sport or activity should be about having fun with the people you're with and not only about the prize; however, in this text, we can see that many people in sports undersee this connection.
Regardless of that, I don’t think kids should get trophies just for participating. A sport should be fun but kids don’t need a trophy for everything you do in a game. If the kids don’t get trophies, it could encourage them to work even harder to get more than just a participation

Life is Not Given You're in the semifinals if you win you go to the championship game, but you lost. Should you really get a trophy for trying your best, but still losing?There is a heated debate between rather kids should receive participation trophies or not. I think that kids should not receive an award for showing up. You should not be rewarded for trying at something you signed up for.
Sadly however, most participation trophies don't work this way. They just blatantly hand them out to the children without any explanation other than “you were a part of the team!” In the end, however, all of the lessons taught from getting a participation trophy could be taught stronger without them.

Many people have multiple perspectives about awards given out in young athletes sports. Some people believe that young athletes should be given awards just for participating in a sport. However, others think that awards should be given to the top athlete on a tea or the one who has improved the most, and experts have reasonable evidence to support both sides of the argument. The question is, which side do you support? Young athletes should get an award just for participating in a sport because it gives them motivation to keep working hard, because they are still young, and most of all, because if everyone gets an award, then no athlete can be favored more than the other.
No, reward only the best! There is no participation award for life and no one is going to hand you the life you want, you have to work for it.

When kids were being asked about the trophies they knew they didn’t have to try their best to get the trophies, which isn't fair to the ones who did. While I see that not everyone is a winner and that sometimes participation is the best a kid thinks they can achieve, I think that would strive them to do better.

They do not symbolize a victory or achievement; they are merely reminders of childhood. Betty Berdan, a junior in high school says, "When awards are handed out like candy to every child who participates, they diminish in value.
