Just like appreciation is very vital in our everyday life, it can never be over emphasized in the world of sports.
Appreciating someone makes someone feel good about what he/she does. It makes a whole lot of difference to people’s lives.
Appreciation makes people feel better about themselves, it generates a good feeling of self-worth and creates a human connection to others.
Appreciation enhances self-esteem for both the giver and the receiver. When we appreciate people for their outstanding performances, we give them a sense of significance.
When a sincere compliment is given to people, their world becomes a better place for them. By expressing approval to people for good works, you enhance their lives and as a result enrich your life too.
However, in the world of sports, trophy is the major reward. What is trophy? It is a tangible, durable reminder of a specific achievement, and serves as recognition or evidence of merit.
Trophy boosts the morale of the athletes; it makes them put in their best of performance. They play with expectations at the back of their minds; they play remembering how they were previously celebrated and wish to be celebrated again, again, and again.
