I saw what you did there 

I actually thought it was a typo.

That is, not enough talent, but he tried.

I can confirm he is always trying, very trying!

Yep 

I tried hard, my best inninigs for Richmond Ex-Servos was 2 not out played over 2 hours, when we need a draw to make the finals.

Never tire of an Alastair Cook style stay in all day proper test match innings, even if it was Under 14s division 2

I was tbh a terrible football player when I was really young but still cherish my old pennants I got for participating. 

When a club says to young kids that at the start of the season you will get a trophy for participation and part of the game fee each week goes toward it you have to expect a little blowback (especially when it's young kids ( 8/9 yr olds )) when you don't deliver as promised. 

I watched my young nephews play football a few times. They were not very good at all. They all had dreams of playing for the Socceroos but you knew even then that none of them ever would.....lol

In their team was Sudanese kid who was really well liked but who wasn;t very good, even his dad said to me " I love my son but I know he's no Messi, he just loves football"....but in the last game of the season scored a match winner from about twenty metres from goal.....a screamer. You would of thought they won the world cup the way they celebrated. He came off crying into his dads arms after the game it meant that much. For kids that turn up to training and every game day a trophy of participation is really only a just reward.

 

Tbh I used to give back my participation trophies. If only my skills actually matched my attitude 😂
