Lessons In Life And Leadership

LLL031 No More Participation Trophies Over the last several years, many schools, athletic groups, and sports teams have begun awarding children based on whether they participate or not. These organizations and groups believe that by rewarding children for simply showing up and participating, it can help improve their overall self-esteem. On today's episode, I'm sharing why I believe we should remove participation trophies from school and sports activities. I'll explain why children should be rewarded based on performance, explain how allowing our children to be competitive and rewarding them for their hard work teaches them valuable, life-long lessons, and how participation trophies actually encourage a child's sense of self-entitlement.   "People need to understand that the amount of results they get is directly proportional, in many cases, to the reward they get." - Mike Staver     Staver On Demand  If you enjoyed the content in our podcast episodes and would like access to Mike Staver even
