Trophies should be rewarded only to the best players. When everyone playing receives a trophy, the
meaning of the trophy is gone. Karen Coffin, a coach who writes about youth sports, and Dr. Michelle
Anthony, an author and psychologist who works with kids and schools, agree that trophies are not the best
way to motivate players. While some people argue that trophies encourage kids to continue to play sports, a
small show of appreciation, like a pat on the back, is enough to encourage kids to play more. Instead of
giving meaningless trophies, let's reward only the best players.
