Teams work very very hard. They are on the ground, figuring it out. Teams deal with challenges, difficulties, and constraints on a regular basis - sometimes year after year. Their focus and intent is to grow a team well and to help their students develop their potential, find their dream, and go for it. The teams often have a very deep passion about inspiration and work hard to have their efforts recognized.
The FIRST leaders have different passions, viewpoints, concerns. Sometimes, there is a disconnect. That's ok - if it is bad enough, they'll figure it out. Growing pains are called growing pains for a reason. And... nobody is perfect. But... don't let anyone rain on your parade.
