[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 598085, member: 3907"] I hate the Trophy-itis that has taken over children's activities. I remember receiving a few of those "thanks-for-breathing-in-and-out" trophies when my hockey team didn't place in the top standings, or i came 4th in a tennis tournament, or whatever. I always found them to be embarrassing. Why would I want a trophy to commemmorate a bad season? I already knew that I needed to improve my performance, and didn't really want a trophy sitting on a shelf to let everyone else know that I'd done badly. I also found the winning trophies excessive, with all of the sparkly brass action figures on top, but at least they commemorated an achievement rather than a failure or a non-achievement. [/QUOTE]
