Opinion

I’m about to get in hot water with this one. I just know it. Let me start with a question. Do we as parents, educators, and coaches want our young people to have self esteem based on the everyone gets a blue ribbon approach? Or, do we want our young people to grow their self esteem through achievement?

I first started thinking about this during a couple of high school awards banquets a few years ago. During the fall sports awards, a soccer team pretty much had an award for every player. I was astonished. There was offensive MVP, defensive MVP, forward MVP, midfielder MVP, fullback MVP and…goalie MVP (That must have been an incredibly tough selection since there was only one goalie), as well as a host of others like most improved, most inspirational, best reserve player cheerleader, best cookie provider, and best drinks brought to games. Okay, so they didn’t do the cheerleader, cookie or drinks ones, but I’m not kidding, I think every player got an award. My kid was on that team, and received the offensive MVP award. When we got into the truck to go home, he said, “That was stupid.”

No kidding.

More or less the same thing happened at a girls basketball awards dinner that winter. Just about every player got something. As my kid would say, “that was stupid.”

Before writing this, I did a bit of reading on the internet of scholarly articles to see what the research had shown concerning what I call “artificial bolstering of self esteem” and it’s effects on actual achievement. By artificial bolstering, I mean rewarding kids for basically being alive and breathing in an effort to increase their self esteem, something an educator friend of mine calls the “blue ribbon soccer mentality.” Nearly all the research focused on self esteem’s correlation to achievement in school or in the work place.

What I gleaned from the papers I read was that there is a moderate correlation between self esteem and achievement. However, that correlation seems to work in the opposite direction of what the “everyone gets a blue ribbon” people want to believe. Actual achievement helps build self esteem, not the other way around. In other words, engineering self esteem through rewards for nothing more than being alive, does not appear to increase achievement.

What a shock! Who would have thought that people feel good about themselves when they actually accomplish something. I mean, who would have thought that students might think of themselves as being smart when they ace a test, or even pull off a “B.” Or, who would have thought that when a player makes the football team and earns a starting spot through hard work and dedication, he would feel good about himself (or herself, in a few cases of females making football teams).

The Etna Lions boys varsity basketball team fell 65-63 to the visiting Chiloquin Panthers on Tuesday night. It was that close. The Lions were one hoop, one turnover, or one call away from grabbing their first win of the 2011-12 season.

In a contest that somewhat resembled an NBA All-Star game—little structure, lots of shooting, and mostly matador defense—the Lions took an early lead, and then watched the Panthers go on a scoring rampage.

Etna’s Kainen Krueger opened up the game with a hoop, and then converted a dish from Nicky DelaRosa into a bucket, giving Etna a 4-0 lead. The Panthers scored the next 14 points. It was Chiloquin 16 – Etna 11 at the end of the first quarter.

The Panthers led by as many as nine points, 24-15, in the second quarter. Etna battled back and took the lead, 31-30, at the half on a banked in 3-ball at the buzzer by Colby Rimmer. (more…)
