Corey Turner explains his ideas about children getting a participation trophy, as Professor Carol Dweck says in the article, Should Kids Get a Trophy For Showing Up? " 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
A popular issue today, should kids get participation trophies for trying? One side says, “Yes they should get participation trophies”. While the other side declares “No they should not get trophies”.

Do you get all A’s in school just for showing up? Do you make the team just for trying out? Well for the past couple of weeks social media has been blowing up with the debate on participation trophies. I feel that participation trophies and ruining kids and youth sports.

I think children should be awarded a participation trophy in physical education. This creates self-esteem and can become a source of motivation as children see other students receive participation rewards. For example, in The Pros of earning a participation trophy, shows “ Recent studies show that using positive reinforcement, especially in young children, can be one of the most effective ways to motivate children. It can prevent misbehavior and encourage positive behavior”. Based on this research, participation trophies can be a source of motivation since it will make them try and get one too.
Many people believe they should get participation trophies, but many people believe they should not. I think kids should get participation trophies at young ages only. Participation Trophies should be given out to younger kids for many reasons. Little kids should get participation trophies because it helps boost their self-esteem. It would help kids be kind and caring to other people and kids.
Should Children Receive Trophies Just For Participating? What are trophies? They are memorable tokens that symbolize hard work and excellence. They are symbols of winners who worked hard to try and reach their goal.
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. Also, many youth athletes find that trophies take up their rooms and have no meaning behind them, such as using them as door stoppers. 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.
The thought going through most children 's minds is, "why try if I know I am going to get a trophy anyway." A trophy is always secured in their mind. Trophies today have a whole new meaning. 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.
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. Sports at a young age should be about learning about the basics of the sport anyways and not about the rewards you get from
You hear the final whistle blow and the whole team breaks out in smiles and cheers, the exertions of the game washing off in a second. But that winning moment is a culmination of hard work, practice, and teamwork. The effort that goes into winning should be rewarded and recognized by awarding only the winning team trophies. Giving everyone else certificates allows them to be recognized for their participation but the trophies add distinction to winning team. Giving only the winning team trophies also teaches a life lesson to the player: hard work leads to success.
