Persuasive Essay On Trophys

Trophies are so satisfying when you receive one, but is it too far for a kid to get a trophy just for showing up? Yes it is, and there are numerous reasons to support this opinion. In particular, getting the same trophy other players are rewarded as well shows nothing worth awarding. Furthermore, trophies are not suppose to be an easy thing to achieve, or that demolishes the purpose of a trophy. I feel coaches give players too many trophies.

To start things of, a trophy is meant for a particular subject, for example, best offensive player or best defensive player. Whereas if a coach gave a certain trophy to a group of kids on a team, or the team as a whole, where is the awarding in that? You can't just give a trophy labeled “best” or “most” to a bunch of kids instead of a particular player, that ruins
the whole meaning of winning a trophy, or being the best. For example, games like football, or baseball, are competitive sports. When giving a trophy that is not reasonable to give to a bigger group of players, like most outstanding, ruins competition. Players need to try and thrive to win a trophy, they can't just have it served on a platter right in front of them.
Secondly, awards are, well, awards.
They’re not for doing something miniscule, like showing up, they are for highly valued things, like “most touchdowns this season” or “most goals made this season”. On the other hand, giving a “participation trophy” is inferior and teaches kids if they just try their best in life, or not at all, they will earn something great. Now that's not how life works at all. Additionally, participation awards are a bad choice because you have to give it to all of the players. I understand that giving a participation award to kids can make them not want to quit, but coaches are going overboard on the idea. Most coaches will give out participation awards until kids reach middle school, I feel that middle school is a extremely late time to stop this practice. The best time to stop this practice would approximately 4th grade, because that is when kids start to understand life and the world around them much greater. Next, in some cases, you will find players that are bad sports and are mean to other teammates and even coaches, and giving them a trophy, even if they have bad attitude, is the wrong move to make when it comes to giving out
trophies.
In conclusion, awarding too many trophies can cause players to stop giving it their all. This is because coaches give the same trophy to multiple kids. And lastly, this causes a trophies significance to just fade away, because giving to many of these makes them worthless.
