I am looking for some advice on how to navigate a situation. Our school’s sports banquet is coming up and we are to give three awards to our team, MVP, Most Improved, and Hardest Worker. Not a big deal, however, our AD reminded me that our team was small this year, only four athletes, and that I may “want to figure something out so it is fair”. The suggestion was to make up a new award or only give an MVP award away.
I am typically not a fan of everyone get an award, but I will admit this situation is unusual. To make things more difficult Athlete #4 put in no effort to improve and did not complete practices as instructed.
What are your suggestions?
