When we think about the word trophy the immediate reaction is a sense of pride and achievement if you or your loved one has got one. If you haven’t, you would wish you or your loved one to get one after being victorious. In dictionary, it is defined as a piece of metal – generally gold, silver or bronze – which is given to a player, or a person or an individual when they were able to achieve something meaningful or won against a competition, on these occasions a trophy is given out. Apart from the player or person who has won the trophy a sense of pride also comes among their team mates, family members and friends who directly or indirectly helped them in winning!
