Texas Youth Football League Does Away With "Participation Trophies"

#48

Quote:Back on topic for a second: my childhood trophy case is tiny.  My childhood memories are, for the most part awesome.  And very few of those awesome memories involve a classic definition of achievement.  In life, they don't give out trophies for what is most important. 
 

I like the way you put this.

 

Earlier this year I took my kids to the mountains of North Carolina and they got to see snow for the first time. I'd like to think that will be a more important memory for them than any trophy they received this year.
