| I must say there are a lot of killjoy comments on this one, and playing down of what is a great acheivement. Should all acheivements just be brushed off?
Imagine you practice for years, and on the day perform brilliantly, and your reward - a line on a web-site, or a thankyou and a pat on the back. Can you just imagine if you win the World Championships and what happens - a shake of the hand and a "well done jolly good shooting, now lets all go home".
I would want something to inspire people around me, to show my grandchildren, display it in your club house for fellow club members to see, and say look you can do anything you can put your mind to.
Obviously if you are so great that records and wins just roll into each other then just keep the important ones.
I tell you what though, it would make tournament days a lot quicker. No medals to hand out or trophies - maybe this not making a big deal thing does have a plus side afterall. |
