Why We Don’t Do Trophies Here at Geelong Boxing Club
Apr 24, 2025
We get asked all the time, “Do the kids get medals?”
And while we get the intention behind that, recognition, encouragement, motivation, here at Geelong Boxing Club, we’re intentionally choosing a different approach.
Our teen program is non competitive by design.
Because let’s be honest, a lot of teens are already in high pressure school environments, competitive sports, or silently competing with unrealistic images online. What they actually need is a break from all that.
Here, we don’t care who’s the fastest, strongest, or who “wins.”
We care about who shows up for themselves. Who takes a breath when it’s hard. Who starts to believe that they’re worth investing in. And that doesn’t need a trophy...it needs a space that feels safe, steady and supportive.
So no, we don’t do medals.
We build character. We build regulation. We build relationships.
And in the long run, that’s the real win.
