He stated that he thinks that only those who have worked really hard or accomplished something big should be given a trophy otherwise kids will grow up thinking everything will be handed to them easily in life. The next day he got his trophy. We both had to laugh at that.<br /><br />Tabor- I went up to the coach after the banquet and thanked him for recognizing Joey and told him just how much it meant to Joe. I am so grateful that he was appreciated in that way. It is a wonderful award to receive and I'm so happy for Joey.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-66372135895975903802015-03-24T20:07:34.740-05:002015-03-24T20:07:34.740-05:00So glad the the Coach was willing to recognize har...So glad the the Coach was willing to recognize hard work and reward it. I think so many kids work hard and get just a pat on the back...not the real validation they deserve. Wonderful that you notice how much more important than talent is this skill.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-21536844259625244412015-03-24T13:58:25.471-05:002015-03-24T13:58:25.471-05:00Congrats to Joey and it is also good that he knew ...Congrats to Joey and it is also good that he knew he had worked hard to get it, that it wasn't just handed out, but it took effort on his part to earn the respect of his coaches and the trophy!!!
