I think i would go with the medal, you have to be a pretty good player to get on the National team as it is and the chance only comes once every 4 years, and you have to get used to playing with players that you normally play against in a regular league. On the other hand, it is rewarding when you get a ring because you work so hard with your team to get that chance and it's something pretty much every kid dreams of growing up. It's a hard choice, but i'm going with the medal.
