[quote=Anonymous]I think there are two issues here. One is that rewards destroy internal motivation. Sometimes, rewards can make sense if you have a kid who needs to do something, or stop doing something, and isn't internally motivated. But a kid who isn't internally motivated to play a specific sport, shouldn't be playing it. They should keep looking until they find what they are motivated to do. The other is that over focusing on goals, rather than on perseverance, teamwork, soccer IQ (or lacrosse IQ, or hockey IQ, or whatever IQ) isn't going to lead to the kid improving as a player. It's a stupid thing to reward because even if we accept that being a good player is the goal, it won't lead to the kid being a better player.[/quote]
