I don't really care who stands behind the glass, but I feel like I didn't get much respect from the majority of adult coaches I met at the events. I was my team's pre-match negotiator. But I found that the majority of adult coaches wouldn't even listen to a word I would say. They had their own strategies in mind and wouldn't even consider what I had to offer.

I was so frustrated that I told my teacher, Mr. Stokely, that he should be the strategist, since there was a chance that people would listen to him. Those of you who know him, know what I mean :-)

I'm sure that you're not like this Andy, but I ran into a bunch of "I'm smarter than you so we'll do things my way" adults.
