Re: The Stereotyping of Successful Teams
Oh, to be the successful team that suffers from being stereotyped!
Unfortunately, this is the price for being an elite team (on or off the field). FIRST is at the vanguard of a culture change, but many people are not there yet. Jealousy and bitterness rear their ugly head again and again.
Don't be discouraged by the stereotype. Consider it a compliment in disguise. I appreciate seeing the story and explanation of team histories. As a coach, it allows me to show my students what can be accomplished with whatever resources you have, given the determination and resolve of dedicated students and mentors.
