That is an excellent point. After doing clinics for oh, 4 years in
highschool, I've been told I've "sucked" and "couldn't play" by people all
the way from principal to people sitting lower than I. It's rough, but it
doesn't get any easier in the real world, in fact, from what I have seen so
far, it only gets worse. But just try and be the better guy and turn the
other cheek, and yes it's very hard, but they will either respect you for
that or hate you for that. My two cents are done now, thanks.
